Yes. This is one of the things that drives me nuts about a lot of titles on here: the context like “for the web” changes how it’s is interpreted a great deal. I see the same thing when I see posts about other languages and AI and such. Context matters versus making it sound like a broad, general statement. Alas, the broad, general statements likely get more engagement..
replyFarewell, Rust for Web was a worse title. I thought it meant Rust ended WebAssembly support.
replyAgreed! The context matters a lot. Rust is a great language, but using it for the web is a poor choice just like using JS outside the web is a poor choice. Programming languages all have domains where they do well or poorly, and trying to make a single language work for all cases is a fool's errand.
replyOk, we'll use that above. Thanks!
replyYeah Astro is a great choice for a static or mostly static website. Moving to Astro is not a slight on any other language or framework.
replyAiui they are also migrating their backend api(s) from rust to node. They were already using astro with rust on the backend (after dropping ssr with tera).
