Hi. Is it something that comes with HTML templating? Im curious what people user if (any) use Rust as their ‘web backend’. Assume the app is only for web app. Do people just separate rust as API , and use something like Nextjs, etc.. or there’s full featured framrework for building website in Rust? Thanks

In strongly typed languages like Rust, composing smaller libraries is usually quite painless, so you don't need a large framework.

Personally for backend Rust I use rouille[0] for the server (it's very simple and async-free), askama[1] for compile-time HTML templates and (if a SPA is unavoidable, as that is of course always to be avoided if at all possible) yew[2] for client-side WASM.

Now this stack is what I like personally, but there are many options that you can combine, some more full-featured than others. Check out https://www.arewewebyet.org/ for a partial overview.

anyway do you go with a specific full featured framework? or you just combine things?
