I wish there were equivalent books to Zero 2 Production for other ecosystems. I'm working on a project with Sveltekit project right now, and a major frustration for me is the proliferation of choices that come from working in the TS/JS ecosystem. While those choices exist in Rust too, the Zero 2 Prod book at least presents a pathway where reasonable defaults are presented for everything from tracing to ORM and I don't have to review a million and one different options and figure out how to make them work. JS build systems are nightmarish to me and Python is only slightly less bad.

Edit to add: if there are recommendations for TS/JS front-end development, I'd love to see them.

I started with exercism for rust, and then Zero2Prod.

Through Zero2Prod, it's very nice to see how easy the rust ecosystem makes it to do "high level" web programming with minimal friction. The type system makes Domain modeling fantastic. Options and Results feels like the right way to do error handling, and the `?` operator cleans things up nicely.

I only wish that rust was something I could use at work (we're mainly a Go shop; not my favorite), but I suppose I'll have to wait for the right opportunity.
