Phoenix on Rails - a Phoenix tutorial for Rails developers
https://luckyframework.org/ . Kemal is even faster but it's mostly for APIs. In my opinion it's on par with Actix with much, much better developer experience.

How do you find the market in 2023?
It's been around for a while under development. It had it's 1.0.0 release in March 2021. There's been two (online) Crystal conferences, and there's two Crystal books published. There's a decent ecosystem of "shards" and there are a couple of Crystal web frameworks and ORMS that are similar to Sinatra or Rails-like. If you already know Ruby, learning Crystal is super easy.

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
They’re all good to try IMO, another is https://kemalcr.com which is akin to Sinatra if you just want to get an HTTP server with routes setup quickly.

Ask HN: Simplest stack to build web apps in 2021?
> They all look complicated and require lots of configs and plumbing to get started.
I felt the same way so I made my own full-stack "framework" just for me centered around the Svelte component library which I love:
https://github.com/Glench/full-stack-svelte-prototype/
Been using it in production and really really happy with it. Obviously kind of stinks to not have community support but so far it hasn't been a huge issue.
It basically sets up all the crap that I don't want to have to think about while keeping a tight coupling between the front-end and back-end (which is how I develop) — clear separation of code that runs on the server vs the client (with code splitting and CSS generation), rendering pages on server and hydrating client components, communicating between the server and client, re-rendering components when new data arrives. It really fits my needs well.
