loco VS izi

Well, no, that's not really a fair assessment. Someone is quite literally doing "rails but for Rust" with loco: https://loco.rs

As far as I know, the bulk of this effort has been one developer pushing it along. I wouldn't personally use it but it _does_ exist.

It's also worth noting that these older frameworks all come from a different era of development - nowadays most newer devs seem to want to build microservice-after-microservice, where these don't quite fit into the picture.

Moreover, I especially like where Rust is right now in the web space. It really feels like there’s a lot of smart people working on the next generation of web development tools - it feels like the place to be. There are a range of great open-source web dev tools that are just reaching critical levels of maturity. Axum, which I used to build Prodzilla, feels ready for out of the box web dev, and is crazy-performant, as I write about later. More recently available is Loco, a Rails-like framework for building web applications in Rust that's picking up steam. And in dev-tooling and hosting there’s Shuttle, a 1-line hosting solution for Rust backends.

I took a look at https://github.com/aaviator42/izi/blob/main/izi.php. Basically the first repository that was listed. It looks a lot like what I wrote years ago, which unfortunately, in my book is not a positive. What I take issue with are the following things.

    iniSettings();

One of the 'services' I host is a simple interface on a server that allows me to easily upload files and get sharable links to them.

At this point it's used by more than just me, a bunch of people in my circle use my instance to share files.

In case anyone else finds this useful: https://github.com/aaviator42/izi

There's a demo here: https://aavi.xyz/proj/fakeizi/

For the same purposes, I use a script I wrote that can be thought of as a simple self hosted FF Send alternative.

Allows you to easily upload files to your server from a web interface and share them.

It's a single PHP script you chuck on a server (shared hosting or virtual private or homelab): https://github.com/aaviator42/izi
