I love Rust and I love the direction its pushing. But these kinds of websites are awful. If you can't get the nuances why Rails/Django/Many other frameworks are a better solution for writing a web server than I dunno what to tell you.

Care to share why? It provides a lot of useful information and curated packages for common categories. It is actually widely used as a reference for package selection. Just because you disagree does not make it "awful"

It's awful because dishonesty is awful.

I'm enthusiastic about learning Rust myself, but it's not even remotely a replacement for Rails. Rails is, IMO, bar-none the fastest prototyping / solo dev tool for building CRUD apps that there has ever been. It made it possible to build a blog in under fifteen minutes in 2005. In 2020, it's even more productive and for an even wider variety of applications.

What Rust framework is even remotely similar?
