Likewise. I'm commenting based on my position:

  - Rust Fanboy; use it in several domains (embedded, PC applications, bio/chem)
  - Web dev is the main thing I still use Python for, as there's nothing on Django's level.

Of interest: I am not a fan of Async in rust. I get that for web stuff it is a suitable model, but I still don't like it for no original reasons. As you stated, I don't feel like this is solving the missing aspects, e.g. auto migrations, admin, email, auth, etc.

Migrations: Done with Toasty (https://github.com/tokio-rs/toasty/) which I intended to be integrated tightly with topcoat. You can see a rough roadmap here, which will be posted: https://github.com/tokio-rs/topcoat/issues/104

Better to ship early and hear what people want though :)

Shameless plug: the lack of a fully batteries-included framework (with DB, auto migrations, admin, etc.) is one my biggest gripes in Rust - and that's why I've been developing https://cot.rs/ for a while.
