Can anyone recommend an http/rest api framework for Rust? I'd love to look at using it, last checked a couple of years ago and I don't remember finding anything that looked particularly stable / production ready.
HTTP stuff benefits a lot from asynchronicity, and so there’s been a lot of churn over the past few years as this story shakes out. We’re almost there though!
I don't feel quick one-off rest servers where performance is dominated by HTTPS/SSL (or even just play HTTP) are anywhere near rust's sweet spot. You pay heavy penalty for rust, and doesn't seem to be to be an area where it is appropriate.
I'm not concerned about your opinions. To the dim extent that I'm aware of them, I probably agree with you. But if you continue to violate the HN guidelines we're going to have to ban you. I don't want to do that, because it's clear that you know a lot and also have good things to say. But at a certain point it's just not worth the damage it causes to the community. If you value being here, you need to abide by the contract, the same as other users do.
