#13Rust is pretty much the only language that runs well on all of front-end, back-end, iOS, Android, Windows & MacOS, with decent UI bindings. Javascript is the only real competition, but the needed shims are lossy at times. C++ is the closest, but Dioxus and Cacao are nicer than anything in the C++ ecosystem AFAICT. It's perhaps not the ideal language for any of those, but there's substantial benefit to having your who…
Runs well in a browser, with ergonomic integration with HTML, CSS, and other browser APIs?

QT is still far ahead.
This isn't a dig on Rust, but wherever Rust runs, so does C++. There are a lot of dimensions where Rust is better, but definitely not "runs everywhere" and "ecosystem".

How does rust run on the front-end? Or is this the compile to wasm thing?

#16Maybe not with Actix, but certainly with axum: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum
Salvo is also great: https://salvo.rs

Why wouldn't it be ready with Actix?

#18Yes!
I was delighted just a few weeks ago to go from nothing to a rest server, redis connection, database connection and templating out dynamic html with rust after a few hours of tinkering.

#19I won't use it to build a website until we get something like Django, or at least something like Flask's ecosystem. I want automatic (or at least easy and without DRY problems) DB migrations. I want an auto-generated admin page; auth; email.
I will continue using Rust for embedded, 3D graphics, and desktop PC programs, but won't touch it for websites until this is solved.

My main gripe with QT is that apps created with it are, as a rule, ugly and non-native feeling.
My suspicion is that this is because QT widgets sort of look like native widgets but aren’t quite there, causing it to fall into some kind of “uncanny valley” analogue.
