Generating a Java program with 90% less code

This is strange, I've been programming mostly Rust for the last six months and I'm finding it very terse actually. It is much shorter than the original Javascript code it's replacing, mostly because of the error handling.

Are you using an MVC web framework, or something like that? Asking because I'm curious about other people's experience with Rust.

Boilerplate may not be the best term. It's more the presence of fitting into types and structures that certain libraries/frameworks provide where you just need to be much more explicit than in some languages. It's definitely a good thing long term though.

Writing code without dependencies/frameworks that have a required structure is a joy, however.
