The process for making webapps in Rust seems extremely clean compared to other languages (or maybe I'm not exposed enough but I remember making things with Golang and even just JS was torture with common hosting solutions). Props to shuttle.rs and the Rust community!

What made it difficult to deploy Go apps?

I did it around 2 years ago: the web solutions were not very mature and it was poorly supported (but that's my subjective experience)

What solutions were you using?

I’m also curious - could you maybe give an example of something concrete that is (or was) difficult in go but easy with rust?

I was using Heroku, but thinking back it may have been just a factor of inexperience (I don't do web much, not had I used Heroku before and the UX is not great there). I can't actually remember which go framework I used, but I associate negative feelings with the experience (take this entire thing with a grain of salt - I just thought shuttle.rs + the general rust buildsystem seemed so much cleaner than what I recall doing - I struggled a lot with config files and getting the module system to work for me)

We have come a long way since Heroku. Vercel/Zeit has really raised the bar and expectations for a modern PaaS.

Noted, thanks, I'll check them out!

What do you mean by web solution? Go ecosystem is mature in that field and it's very easy to deploy.
