I would argue web dev is just not Rust’s sweet spot, and I wouldn’t hold my breath for „Django for Rust”.

That’s what people said about Python before Django. They asked why not use PHP or Perl. But Django came along and established a strong set of patterns that make web dev much easier these days.

As somebody who wrote maybe half a million lines of python code, I still must say that it is Rails that became a model.

Django was (is?) the default tool for python, but i don't remember it being discussed as widely.

Yes, rails definitely in a bigger scale. Django within pythons ecosystem.

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.
