So I've started learning Rust and I must say it feels great! But some parts of the language, like enums, are quite different than what I'm used to.
As a proof of concept I've reimplemented a small API (an Azure Function App) in Rust with Actix Web and it's FAST AS FUCK BOIII.
The response is served about 5x as quckly and the memory footprint shrinked from some 90 MB to around 5 MB.
In my small scale usecase it's not a huge difference, but I think it can be massive at large scales...
What is your experience with Rust (at scale)?

I wish I could quickly reimplement the whole fucking CMS Of Doom™ in Rust... but no time and resources :(

I'm really enjoying rust now. It was worth the struggles.

I was really surprised to see, a NodeJS server takes around 40-60MB of memory whereas Rust (Actix web) server takes around 500KB-2MB :O whoa! Awesome!

So, after day 3 of Rust programming I have an observation to make:

Rust package management (and conflicts that arise) is not very good.

To the rusters out there, am I wrong? Is there something to make it better?

First day developing in Rust. First day developing using the actor model in Actix. First line in a new production codebase.

Oh my

RIP actix :'(
