Rust Beyond Systems: Revolutionizing Web Development

Rust is commonly recognized for its prowess in system-level programming, but its versatility extends far beyond. As a general-purpose language, Rust offers compelling possibilities for web application development, both on the frontend and backend. This talk explores Rust’s potential in the web domain, highlighting its compatibility with modern web frameworks such as Yew and Leptos for frontend development, and Axum, Actix, and Prost for backend services. We’ll delve into the advantages Rust brings to web development, including its robust type system, compiler safeguards, and abstraction capabilities, which collectively contribute to more secure and maintainable applications.
