Rust-for-Web

Remarks and brief examples having to do with use of Rust in Web service

Varieties of Web Experience

Rust's garbage-collection-less advantages and benefits (Discord found it bested Go in "... every single performance metric ..., and so on) apply in particular in Web applications. This repository introduces the topic of Rust's use in Web service sorted in broad architectural terms.

Simplest possible Web service with base Rust

Andrew Lader has a 47-line "Simple HTTP Server in Rust". [Provide usage for those utterly unfamiliar with Rust.] Comparable implementations in Go fill fewer than thirty lines, and in Python or Ruby line counts are between fifteen and two dozen [provide references]. Lader supplies more detail in "Should I Rust, or Should I Go". [On "other side", refer to C-coded example.]

Static Web sites generated with Rust

Rust-oriented Web application service

Sascha Grunert supplies a complete small authentication demonstration.

Actix is "... a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust." It requires, for example, a fortieth (!) the memory of a comparable Django instance.

Firefox Quantum Web browser

Locuses of Rust intelligence
