The one thing I do enjoy in rust is how you don’t need an excessive amount of tests to ensure it runs fairly correctly. I’ve spend more time writing tests in the last ten years using Python/js than writing actual code. Such a waste of productivity.
Django was (is?) the default tool for python, but i don't remember it being discussed as widely.
IME fastapi has eroded some of Django’s hold but it’s still chugging along nicely. Hype has certainly died down because it is ancient by today’s standards. Still a very good tool and quite a lot of work available around it.
Even though Rust is more verbose, and SeaORM has a few quirks, I am making faster progress in Rust than my existing mature Typescript + Node + apollo-graphql + ReactJS setup. Once I was over the initial setup & learning curve (about a week), I find myself able to spend more time on business logic and less time hunting runtime bugs and random test failures. There's something almost magical about being able to refactor code and getting it up and running in a matter of minutes/hours, compared to days for similar operations in Typescript.
It's definitely still a young ecosystem that desperately needs a Django equivalent (loco.rs is worth keeping an eye out, but it's not there yet.) But I'm willing to tackle a bit of immaturity & contribute upstream to avoid the constant needless churn of the js world.
