axum is awesome!

I think Axum is a pretty sane option when it comes to web frameworks :D I really enjoyed making my small project in it personally

https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum

I think I mostly used it because it was vaguely similar to ExpressJS.

AUGHH I HATE ROCKET. I'm sorry I admire the work put behind it but it is SO extremely and utterly convoluted and AUGHH

the web framework I used was literally named "rocket" and spat out sparkle and rocket emojis every time it ran into the logs

At least the bandwagon is memory safe, who cares how many pedestrians it runs over /j

(I have no clue where I'm going with that metaphor)

You mean the "Rewrite it in Rust" bros are rust posers?

BTW, some of the btw bros were running Manjaro.

"Rewrite it in Rust" is the programming language equivalent of btw bros. ;)

Rewrite it in rust is the same thing as "Metal" fans who listens to only metallica..

Hot take, "Rewrite in Rust" bros are to FOSS what a well-thrown bowling ball is to a game of Jenga.

Ah yes, the Bohr school of mystical wave functions.

The circle of hype is complete. XD

It's a high-level language when boomers look at it and a low-level one when zoomers look at it. Like quantum particles, it depends on the observer.

A language can be a systems programming language and also high-level. Heck, C was considered high-level when I was a young-un. XD

Being a low-level language isn't about speed or usability, but the level of abstraction. I don't know much about rust, but it does seem to provide a reasonably high level of abstraction, while still producing quite optimized object code.

Rust is not a functional programming language but multi-paradigm. Also, it *is* low level. As a matter of fact, it is a system's programming language. That's right, it stands next to C in that sense. ;p

I have a hard time seeing functional languages as "low-level." I think it's a high level language masquerading as a low-level language by brute force, and that force is seen when you try to compile something. XD

It can be a lot to take in when you aren't used to low level programming languages, or strongly typed languages

Rust hurts my brain

What are your issues with the design of rust? :p

Rust has a lot of good goals, IMO. I simply don't think it's a very well-designed language. "Designed" is maybe giving them too much credit, frankly.

Go is really good IMO. I was more hesitant with it a few years ago, but after using it regularly for years I've come around. There's a _lot_ it gets _very_ right. Moreso than almost any other language I've used.

Hate google, but I gotta respect #Issue9 (golang)'s heritage, with Kernighan and Pike involved.
Hare also looks like an interesting language.
Rust is way too popular. I default to distrust. XD
