    A comparison of some web frameworks and libs written in Rust

  • makepad

    Makepad is a creative software development platform for Rust that compiles to wasm/webGL, osx/metal, windows/dx11 linux/opengl

  • We can! It’s a lot of work because you don’t have the whole JS ecosystem to fall back on, but to some that’s a feature not a bug.

    My favorite example of this is https://makepad.dev

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Django

    The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

  • GitHub says it's 97.1% python and doesn't list C.

  • argh

    Rust derive-based argument parsing optimized for code size

  • My go-to is argh[1], as it's more lightweight while still providing a nice derive-based API.
