Rust has some great and useful web frameworks that are a joy to use, once you understand what is going on. For example, in Axum, they use traits cleverly to allow you to use dependency injection the same way that fastapi uses it. But at least when I started using it, that wasn’t an insight made bluntly clear with tutorials as good as tiangolo’s. Instead, I had to piece it together via examples in the axum repo as well as from watching a youtube video.

Don’t fear, Rust can be as simple and clever as any other language. And the Rust core OSS developer community has spent at least the last ten minor versions improving dev ex considerably.
