I've always wanted to learn a low-level language. Rust caught my attention because of the hype around it and also its robust type system.
My main goal was to build an HTTP server and compare its performance with a basic Node Express app. I wanted to check how better a low-level language is compared to Javascript.
Within my research, I found Actix to be a good library to build APIs and started building a basic TODO app.
Along the way, I learned that there is a Solid.js like framework called Leptos, and it not only uses WASM (a concept I wanted to explore) but was developed in Rust. I was a perfect match.
Because of that, I created this repository to register my process of learning Rust and WASM.
The ./server folder contains a backend that provides the basic CRUD for a TODO app. The current technologies I'm using are:
The ./client folder contains a basic frontend that uses create_signal, create_effect, and create_memo to create a form and a list of todos.
- Leptos serves as the frontend framework
- Tailwindcss contributes to the styling of the web page
