I’ve spent a scary amount of time with #Ruby and #RubyOnRails (nearly 2 decades at this point) and given the recent developments in the community and circumstances in general vigorously gesturing at everything I though I'd explore what's out there.

I decided to try #Rust for web dev. I have to say that I dubbed my toes regularly into Rust but never used it extensively and never learned it properly. It seems I reread the Rust Book like every three years and I still can’t fully grasp it. I did Advent of Code this year with Rust. Finished all the tasks. So I felt I might try as well something else.

Anyway, I did a quick search. I got to https://www.arewewebyet.org/ — it says “Yes! And it's freaking fast!” so I was encouraged. I looked at what it recommends and off I went.

So here's a rare thread. I’m doing a series of posts because I want to vent a bit and "be wrong on the internet" in hope that someone’s gonna set the record straight and I will learn something. A thread will hopefully make it easier for the hivemind to address individual points.

PLEASE, REPLY TO THESE POSTS.

Anyway, here we go. 🧵
