Genie.jl VS Rocket

Julia seems to be doing a better job catching up to R in this space than Python. I haven't used it personally, but the demos of Genie Framework are impressive: https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl / https://genieframework.com/

Hi everyone! I’m Adrian, co-founder of Genie Cloud. Genie Cloud is the no-code platform to quickly build & deploy Julia web apps. It is designed for R&D and data science teams using Julia, who need to share their work with interactive web apps.

Genie Cloud is very simple: import (or write) the Julia code, build the GUI with the drag & drop editor, and deploy the apps in one-click. No frontend code, server stack or hosting to worry about. With Genie Cloud you can build anything, from interactive dashboards to ML demos to production-grade apps.

Genie Cloud is built on top of the open source Genie Framework (https://genieframework.com/), the most popular Julia web framework (I’m also the creator and maintainer of Genie Framework).

At the moment we are in private beta. You can learn more and sign up to get access here: https://www.geniecloud.io/. Looking forward to your thoughts and questions!

I used Julia through my PhD but then started working at a consulting company and had to use Python except for few proof of concepts I built in Julia. Luckily for me, now I'm working at Genie so I finally get to use Julia professionally :)

Have you checked https://genieframework.com/? It's the most popular web dev framework in Julia.

Hi! Genie Builder is a free VSCode plugin that makes it easy to build web GUIs for Julia applications (and in future, Python apps too). Users can simply drag & drop UI elements to create interactive dashboards and data apps, without writing any frontend code.

The tool is designed for data scientists and researchers who need to expose their data models to business users with an interactive web application, but lack the software development skills to build one.

Genie Builder completely eliminates the need to learn frontend development to code the UI. And very soon, we’re also going to support one-click cloud deployments to make it easy to build AND deploy data apps - no frontend nor devops skills required.

I’m Adrian, the creator of the open-source Genie web framework ([https://genieframework.com/](https://genieframework.com/)). Genie offers low-code libraries for building data applications - just like Streamlit or Dash, but for JuliaLang. We developed Genie Builder because of feedback from our open source community who needs more productive data tooling.

Yep, I'm a PHP dev and often do simple JS/jQuery to support my backend code. I have a very general interest in data science and embedded programming, meaning one day I might start doing something with them, but for now, I'm interested in those languages for web development. The following frameworks were especially interesting

Go: https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Rust: https://rocket.rs/

Julia: https://genieframework.com/

Check Genie. They're working on an app builder called Genie Cloud.

4. Rocket

If you want something simpler/more minimal, you could use https://rocket.rs/ for the backend and handle the front-end however you want.

I’m the author of https://kellnr.io. When I started working on Kellnr three years ago, https://rocket.rs was “the web framework” to use. Unfortunately, the project seems dead. Before adding more functionality using an unmaintained framework, I want to port Kellnr to https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum.

Or else you could of course just use https://rocket.rs/

Rust is a popular system programming language, known for its robust memory safety features and exceptional performance. While Rust was originally a system programming language, its application has evolved. Now you can see Rust in different app platforms, mobile apps, and of course, in web apps — both in the frontend and backend, with frameworks like Rocket, Axum, and Actix making it even easier to build web applications with Rust.

I've done some research but I have to admit that creating embedded devices is a totally new subject for me, but that is the point of the project - main goal is learning, and creating something is the secondary goal, so please bear with me and my knowledge of the subject. So, for the hardware I've seen many people recommending SMT32 family devices, but I've also read that anything with the Cortex-M processor can be suitable. Need more info on that. OS is a hard choice for me because on one hand I was thinking of Ubuntu Core but the device support is not really that good I think, so other options I've found are Tock and RIOT-OS, and I am gravitating towards the latter because it's main focus is on IOT devices. I've found frameworks like Rocket.rs for a web app, tauri.app for desktop app (which might not be needed but I still like the idea). Also found Tokio.rs which apparently will help with the networking. There was a discussion from the other members about using the Golioth cloud platform with Zephyr and C++, and I don't know if there are any other alternatives for Golioth that support Rust, I've found webthings.io but I am not sure if it's an alternative, or something else actually, so I would be happy to learn more about that. Again I want to hear your recommendations regarding anything that will help creating a project like that.

I use Rocket on the backend with Postgres. Currently experimenting with Yew for the frontend.
