Shameless plug: I've been developing https://cot.rs/ for a while, which is strongly inspired by Django, and auto migrations, admin panel, auth, etc. are among the features supporte…

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 http…

Thanks - fixed!

While I generally agree with your comment, a lot of people actually use it because they don't use a password manager and it's more convenient then. One additional benefit to having…

Agreed! This is also something that I personally want to use in my services, so this will definitely be a first-class citizen in Cot very soon.

Thanks a lot for this extensive feedback! About performance: I agree, and I'm not even trying to make performance a priority in Cot. I mean, of course, it's nice to have an actual …

Yeah, that's something I'm painfully aware of. Part of the reason I'm starting to push hard even though it's not ready yet is to gain as much feedback as early as possible to avoid…

That's actually a very good point. I was thinking a lot about whether to make async a requirement. Given that sync code is often easier to reason about and debug and Cot tries to b…

That's one of the issues explicitly mentioned in the article ("Request Handler API is far from being ergonomic"). This will get better in the nearest future as it's a major pain po…

Good point! I'll add some code samples soon, thanks!

Agreed, and what you mention here are the main reasons Cot has been strongly inspired by Django. Whether we'll achieve the same level of stability and ORM ease-of-use for the Rust-…

LOL, thanks for catching that ;) Will fix!

If Django works for you, I'm absolutely not saying you should switch to Cot immediately! Some people like to have as many type-safety and compile-time checks as possible, so that's…

About the docs, there is a guide chapter dedicated to the ORM: https://cot.rs/guide/latest/db-models/ There are several reasons I don't like the existing ORMs in Rust, many of them…

Writing raw SQL is perhaps indeed easier for simple queries, but put some foreign keys inside or slightly more complex relationships between tables and you'll probably quickly fall…

Yeah, it was a typo, just deploying a fix. Thanks!

Yes, the project was fun, yet simple and fast to write! I was thinking about doing some more advanced optimizations, although I believe the opportunities for that are pretty limite…
