I decided to start learning Rust, mainly to work with REST API's, any recommendations? Or do I look out for another language?

Don't pick up the soap.

@Pyjong I don't get it lol

Rocket
https://rocket.rs/

Avoid actix. Its been heavily talked about in the news recently.

@gitpush erm thats the recommendation. Sorry if it's not helpful..

it's fast. it's got a community. I've even heard it's got a method to it's madness.

Thanks everyone, much appreciate all your help :D

@wannabe & @SortOfTested have you used Golang? just wondering whats the difference in terms of speed

@gitpush
Haven't done exhaustive benchmarks, but others have:

@SortOfTested One more question if you don't mind, I see Rocket is for nightly builds for technical reasons, I'm using actix-web do I stay with or go back to rocket? I'm not sure if it is good to use nightly build of a language I'm still learning

@gitpush
It doesn't hurt unless you're in production. Seems like most of the frameworks are in some form of beta at this point in time. The worst you'll endure is eating churn sooner than everyone else

I use gorilla/mux in golang. It's kinda like Python's flask, but for go. Love how fast go is (if you do it right!)

@SortOfTested if most in beta then how stable is it to use rust?

@taigrr I pretty much like how fast go is, at least faster than C# which I've used for years. But I still like working with C# more lol
