I've been experimenting a bit with Rust and seeing what I can get to work and what I can't.

I've been able to mostly recreate the Django workflow using these programs: actix web, tera, and butane.

Butane seems to be the least mature out of all of them, and has also given me the most trouble. That said, it's still the closest thing that I can find to Django's ORM.

I'm just letting you guys know in case you're interested and want to try it out.

Did you give diesel orm a go? It is fairly mature at this point.

Saw Diesel mentioned, but also wanted to throw SeaORM out there. Might be worth looking into as well.

Interesting, do tell us how its going. Django's appeal to me is mostly with the ecosystem and readily available plugins and at the very least the admin. This just saves soo much time. Maybe rust based packages accelerating django is the way to go for me.

Did you look at Loco?
