I’ve been using Actix-Web for the backend and Seed-rs for the frontend and it’s been a blast. One language to run on the server and in the browser. I admit I still have to write scss and know html but that’s no biggie. Biggest pro for using Rust, no more json! I use message pack with compact representation and my data just zips from my webapp to my server without a hitch. Not having to wonder if a field is potentially null in some deeply nested object is a magical feeling.

What is the size of your front-end that is downloaded by the user's browser?

It's 2.96 MB large so about the size of a high quality photo. My webapp doesn't have many pages yet so I expect this to grow by a couple KB.
