Rusty Backends
In particular the last point is what sets axum apart from other frameworks axum doesn't have its own middleware system but instead uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic.

Ropey – A UTF8 text rope for manipulating and editing large texts. in Rust
The bytes crate does support what ComputerGuru asked for via the Buf trait. The trait can be implemented over a sequence of buffers but still provides functions that are common with single buffers. In fact the hyper crate uses the trait in exactly this way - it has an internal type that is a VecDeque of chunks but also implements the Buf trait.

Curl removes experimental HTTP back end in Rust
> While not really the target audience for either language, I would prefer zig's crashing behavior to hyper using unsafe evaluations of macros as an example.
> https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/blob/30f2961e89eb306780d85...
This looks basically like a port of something like Kotlin or C#'s ?. operator - the macro checks whether the pointer is null, returns err if it is, and dereferences the pointer otherwise. The part highlighted in the link looks like it's part of the macro implementation - there don't seem to be any "direct" uses of that particular rule in calling code and it's only invoked via the other rules in that macro definition. I think that should make that bit null-safe at least.
Lifetime safety might be a bit trickier, especially since that bit is part of hyper's C API so idk if there's anything Rust (or Zig, for that matter) could do to ensure the pointer is still valid when dereferenced.

Writing Secure Go Code
I'd point out that one advantage Go has over Rust in terms of security are the coverage of standard libraries. Go has great support for HTTP clients/servers, cryptography primitives, SSH, SQL, JSON, secure RNG, etc. all in officially maintained standard libraries. The Rust ecosystem has some standards here but the most widely used HTTP client, just as an example, is mostly maintained by one guy[1]. I think that adds considerable security risk vs Go's net/http.

Replacing Nginx with Axum
After I read a bit about axum [1], it says it's a relatively thin wrapper on top of hyper [2], a fast and correct HTTP library.
In other words, what can be done with NGINX, it can be achieved with axum (assuming you know Rust).
It looks interesting, I'm not going to lie!
