Prerequisites

# Installing tools we need

cargo install cargo-binstall
cargo binstall trunk
cargo binstall hurl

# Setting compilation targets && switching to nightly compiler (needed for Leptos)

rustup toolchain add nightly
rustup override set nightly
cd frontend
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
rustup component add rust-analyzer

Issues

  • Rust is a very slow to write in language
    • But a very correct language!
  • Steep learning curve
  • Integrating with existing JS libraries is a bit of a pain
    • this was written back when the frontend was in Rust
  • Async traits have caveats (for library developers mostly)
  • Cannot use pooled connections with Neon (issue in sqlx, just use normal connections rather than Neon's connection pooling)
