With Leptos as the web framework! Yes, the RUSTIFICATION of the world continues!
The motivation for this was to get off NodeJS, which has a myriad of issues that I no longer want to reconcile with. I love Rust, so transforming this blog to use Leptos wasn't hard at all. Going from lit-html to Leptos was just not hard, it's crazy how good some frameworks have gotten with templating.
PageSpeed shows performance improvements of course, some other things I will have to resolve. My server doesn't need as much memory or space for this app as with the Node JS app. Build times are long, but I think since they are one-shot, worth it.
Added RSS support and AdSense advertisements while I was at it. I plan to migrate the rest of my public and private web properties to either Leptos or rust based templated site depending on what is needed.
I talked about a discussion application I wanted to create for a long time now, so this was a good evaluation of Rust for being the uni-language for it. Starting small and slow with an audience of 1 and will make as many mistakes as needed to evaluate what I like and don't. Not even sure if that will ever be opened for the public as a platform though. It's a pain to manage people.
What can I say, I love the runtime efficiency gains with Rust. What operator wouldn't.
