Been working on a new backend for Read Rust on and off using actix-web. I worked on it some more today but I’ve decided to park that implementation until there’s an async/await native, batteries included Rust web framework that works on stable.
As a replacement I started porting it to Lucky, which is written in Crystal. As a past Rubyist with plenty of Rails experience it feels familiar but with strong types and a compiler generating performance native code to back it up.
