I came from PHP, Python, and Go (in that order) with very limited experience in both C and C++ and now use Rust for everything with one exception - a scraper for mint.com that uses https://github.com/mintapi/mintapi https://github.com/mintapi/mintapi. That has a lot going on, including spinning up a headless browser, and my code is virtually trivial, so the benefits of porting it to Rust are limited, and the work would be pretty significant.
As far as things I typically make, database-backed HTTP APIs are probably the most common, and influxdb collectors second most common.
- freedomben 4y agoThanks! Is there a specific rust framework you would recommend for HTTP APIs? Or is the standard lib good enough that you don't really need one?
- mcronce 4y agoI always use actix-web. warp comes pretty highly recommended as well, although I haven't personally tried it.
