idk, rust is really good for web services. it depends on your taste obviously but i prefer it to C#.

Would love more specifics because I think this is an area where C# shines especially with hot reload. Even better if you wire it with CSharpRepl (no rebuild at all).

I'm a fan of explicitness and less magic, so the approaches that rust ORM's take, as well as frameworks like axum, I prefer it.

Serialisation with serde is top-notch imo. Equivalent approaches in C# or Java are strictly worse.

Axum's approach to dependency injection is clear, obvious, and mostly free of footguns.

Yes you end up gluing multiple libraries together instead of ".net" but I also prefer that.

I really like C# the language but .net is too full of crud, over-reliance on OOP, and the culture is not there imo.

Somehow Rust makes building web services really great for my set of values.
