I'm 15,000 lines into a Rust project at the moment. I like it a lot but I'd never consider it for a web centric app.

Mind to share why?

As someone who likes Rust, has one project (web based) in production in Rust, and considering starting another one, I'd be glad to learn from the experience of other people.

I have several apps in production. I employ sqlx, axum, async_graphql, React frontend.

So far I don't know any better way of doing it and I have tried all the classic ways like PHP, Django etc. This is way superior. The only downside is that I am the only one who can touch the backend, but I guess if some of the projects grows enough, there will be enough incentives to find another Rust programmer besides me.

Yes, this mirrors my experience as well. It's just every time I see someone who "quits" Rust in order to go back to Ruby/PHP/Python, I'm interested to know what part they were struggling with.
