serenity VS shuttle

https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/: A Discord client, has a file containing formattable endpoint strings that are then passed to a macro to build the endpoint. These endpoints are then obtained by deconstructing an enum with the relevant fields, which is used by the client upstream to make request. I really like this approach, the use of macros and enums feels quite natural.

What would be the best coding lang for this bot, I worked with discord.py in the past but I would like to use Serenity which allows you to make a discord bot with rust.

(https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/pull/1899).

With forced functional programming, you may be referring to serenity's builders? For example

```rust

I am one of the core team members at shuttle, and we've released the support for Serenity (a Rust library for the Discord API) a while back and now we have a tutorial ready for anyone willing to give it a go: https://www.shuttle.rs/blog/2022/09/14/serentity-discord-bot (creating a simple Discord bot, extending it to a weather forecast bot and deploying it with shuttle, for free).

I coded a small discord bot for fun with some friends (using serenityserenity).

For anyone who wants to get a Discord bot up and running (with Rust) - shuttle v.0.5.1 is out, with added Serenity support.

The long term way is to use Discord's interactions system, which involves application commands (slash commands, as well as context menu commands for users and messages), message components (buttons, select menus) and modals. There appears to be some examples provided by your library, including one for slash commands and one for message components, so you could have a look at them to see how to update your bot.

I’m looking to make a discord bot in using the great serenity framework. The only problem is I don’t have any ideas for what the bot should do. I have decent experience with rust and have used it for small webassembly applications at work. I’ve also used serenity a bit to make a Wordle leaderboard for a server. If you have a great idea and want to work on something together, or just want to learn rust, I am definitely willing to teach a bit as well. I don’t care if the idea has been done before, I want to learn as well!

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.

cargo-shuttle is Shuttle's own CLI for interacting with the Shuttle platform. Within the src folder, you will be able to get a better sense of how you can organise your folders/files for a larger CLI project for a live service. There is also use of async here with tokio, so if you're interested in learning how to get started with using clap with async services (for example setting up an async client for a database service), this would be a perfect opportunity to learn to do so!

It would be great if there are some kind of code snippet on the README that really demonstrate the "ship backends without writing infra" feature that I think is one of the unique feature of shuttle. I remember seeing one on the official website (https://shuttle.rs) that left me impressed.

Shuttle is currently accepting entries for a competition, with the best projects being featured at our booth at the [EuroRust](eurorust.eu/) conference this year.

Reading here https://shuttle.rs may be nice to try for the future.

At Shuttle, we've teamed up again with Stefan Baumgartner, the organizer of Rust Linz and author of 'Typescript in 50 lessons', to host a free workshop titled "Rust for Javascript Developers: Building apps that utilize LLMs".

The community being built at https://shuttle.rs is extremely open and welcoming. I’ve yet to do anything on the main code base, but I’ve helped with the docs.

At Shuttle we’ve teamed up with Stefan Baumgartner, the organizer of Rust Linz, to create a newsletter series that takes a slightly different approach towards learning Rust.
