I think Axum has the potential to be the top web framework. Not too high, not too low, very well designed and complete, and well maintained with healthy momentum. It has become our web framework for web services and web app backend.

Not sure we will ever see a "rails" like framework in Rust (for the better IMO)

Axum, Tonic, Serde, and Tower are extremely powerful together. They make building APIs so straight forward. I do wish we could add a few features for free, such as interning JSON strings (which you can do easily via a new library) but this set up is so pleasant to use that I believe it will stay for a long time.

I have recently written a service in Axum (our main API is written in Rocket), and absolutely LOVE it, especially the macro-free API. Next full backend project will be in Axum for sure.
