Why dont use just use Java?

> There was also a strong desire to use a similar setup to Read the Docs as that's what our small team (of 5 at that time) knew well.

Just read the article...

I was asked that question a lot. It’s true that a month after the Java app is running, it’ll have served more requests than the Python app, but, by then, the Python app will be on its fifth feature release.

I see your "java", and I raise you "Why don't you just use Rust?"

What framework in Rust would give you anything close to Django? Or even close to what Java has to offer?

[ldiracdelta]

That, my friend, was a joke.

[wil421]

Sigh. Duh.

I’ve been wanting to use Rust on the web.

Well.... now that you ask. I've enjoyed using [Rust Tide](https://docs.rs/tide/0.16.0/tide/), because it supports async with response objects so you can build the response across async boundardies, unlike [actix](https://www.arewewebyet.org/topics/frameworks/#pkg-actix-web). I've found diesel to be the lingua franca of ORMs right now, but a bit rough to use. Anyways https://www.arewewebyet.org/ gives you the full compendium. My experience is that there isn't a soup-to-nuts framework in rust like django, but you can get there.

What would using Java accomplish exactly?
