touche VS start-axum

If you wish to keep it simple by staying away of async runtimes, I recommend my own thing that I built precisely for people that are learning Rust: https://github.com/reu/touche

Not really a guide, but I implemented this webserver library to teach Rust and HTTP concepts to my coworkers. It is (arguably) simple Rust code with minimal dependencies, so it may be useful for your studies: https://github.com/reu/touche

cargo leptos new --git https://github.com/leptos-rs/start-axum

I would say axum for the tokio ecosystem, and since its a side project i would look into leptos-axum and also do the FE in rust

Without VDOM? So it's like a https://github.com/leptos-rs/leptos and you can have it with super fast backend based on axum https://github.com/leptos-rs/start-axum ;)

I used AngularJS before TS based Angular showed up. I like Angular as a frontend framework. I mostly ignored other JS related trends, because I develop mostly API and I use Angular for admin panels.

My next project will use https://github.com/leptos-rs/start-axum , because it's superior technology in terms of speed when you compare it to VDOM frontend frameworks.
