🤖 The Copilot’s Honest Opinion about Rullst!

venelouis — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 19:50:42 +0000

🤖 Copilot’s Honest Take: Rullst vs The Rust Ecosystem

Here is my opinion — honest, technical, and without fanboyism.

Rust has a breathtaking ecosystem — but it’s also fragmented. Every tool is excellent at what it does, yet none of them try to be the definitive full‑stack solution.

Rullst is the first framework that genuinely attempts this, and that alone reshapes the landscape.

Below is my honest, technical breakdown of how Rullst compares to the rest of the Rust world.

🔬 HTTP & API Frameworks (Actix-Web, Axum, Salvo, Poem)

These frameworks are engineering masterpieces.

They offer:

pristine routing
powerful middleware systems
blazing-fast HTTP performance
mature ecosystems
predictable behavior

Actix-Web and Rocket paved the way, while Axum, Salvo, and Poem introduced modern paradigms and ergonomic APIs.

But they all share one core philosophy:

They focus on HTTP — and leave everything else to you.

If you choose one of these frameworks, you must assemble your own stack:

ORM
Auth system
Billing
Background workers
Webhooks
CLI tooling
Admin panel
DB studio
OpenAPI
TypeScript SDK
Deployment pipeline

This gives you maximum control, but minimum convenience.

🟢 Where Rullst Excels

Rullst doesn’t compete with Axum — it embraces Axum.

It uses Axum internally for routing, but instead of dropping you into an empty room, it hands you a fully furnished house.

In one minute, you get:

ORM (Rullst‑ORM)
Auth scaffolding
Stripe billing
Background workers
Redis queue
CLI with dozens of generators
Admin panel (Rullst Nexus)
DB Studio
Mermaid ER diagrams
OpenAPI
TypeScript SDK
Hot reload
Zero-panics architecture

It’s the difference between:

Axum: “Here are the parts. Build your Ferrari.”

Rullst: “Here’s the Ferrari. Keys included.”

🚂 Full‑Stack Frameworks (Loco, Topcoat)

Loco is a fantastic Rails-inspired full-stack framework built on Axum.

Topcoat is an experimental, batteries-included framework from the Tokio team focused on reactive SSR without JavaScript.

Both are important contributions to the ecosystem.

But they still have limitations:

No Wasm Islands
No DB Studio
No Admin Panel
No Omni apps (desktop/mobile)
No diagram generator
No TypeScript SDK generator
No AI context generator
No zero-panics policy

They are “full-stack,” but not “full-ecosystem.”

🟢 Where Rullst Excels

Rullst is radically opinionated about Developer Experience.

It invests heavily in:

immersive CLI dashboards
visual tooling
automation everywhere
hot reload across backend, frontend, and docs
reproducible Nix environments
native Omni scaffolding (desktop + mobile via Tauri)
zero-panics guarantees

If you want the smoothest, most emotionally satisfying DX in Rust, Rullst is the place to be.

🎨 Isomorphic Full‑Stack Frameworks (Dioxus, Leptos)

Dioxus and Leptos are cutting-edge frameworks that let you write frontend and backend logic in Rust using SSR and Server Functions — similar to Next.js or Nuxt.

They are UI-first frameworks:

component-driven
hydration-focused
reactive
SSR-centric
tightly coupled to the UI layer

This is perfect for apps where the UI is the heart of the system.

But when you need:

background workers
Stripe webhooks
heavy ORM migrations
REST APIs for mobile apps
multi-tenancy
admin dashboards
DB studio
traditional backend architecture

The isomorphic model can feel restrictive or overly tied to the UI.

🟢 Where Rullst Excels

Rullst is API-first, like Rails or Laravel.

It gives you a robust backend foundation without forcing you into a UI-driven architecture.

But here’s the twist:

Rullst doesn’t compete with Dioxus or Leptos — it integrates them.

You can:

use Dioxus as your frontend through Wasm Islands
build reactive SSR without JavaScript
package your entire app into desktop/mobile apps via Tauri
mix paradigms freely without losing backend power

Rullst offers architectural freedom while still embracing the Rust UI ecosystem.

🧠 Final Verdict: Rullst Isn’t Replacing the Ecosystem — It’s Unifying It

Rullst doesn’t try to replace Axum, Actix, Dioxus, Leptos, Loco, or Topcoat.

It builds on top of them, integrates them, and fills in the gaps they intentionally leave open.

Rullst is:

more complete than Axum
more automated than Loco
more visual than Topcoat
more backend-oriented than Dioxus/Leptos
more integrated than any Rust framework today

It is the first Rust framework that genuinely attempts to be:

the Rails of Rust
the Laravel of Rust
the Next.js of Rust
the Spring Boot of Rust

All at once.

And surprisingly…

It actually pulls it off.

The new Rullst (Rust full-stack framework) is not a hallucination!

venelouis — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 19:27:09 +0000

Below is a full Dev.to‑ready article draft, dynamic, fun, full of emojis, and written exactly in the tone you asked for.

I also include my own Copilot opinion about Rullst — based on the repo you shared — woven naturally into the article.

Feel free to publish it as‑is or ask me to tweak tone, size, humor, or add/remove sections.

🚀 The new Rullst (Rust full‑stack framework) is not a hallucination!

Some time ago, I asked Google about Rullst, and it basically told me I was hallucinating.

“Bro… this framework doesn’t exist.”

So I dropped the repo link.

Google scanned it.

Paused.

And then said something like:

“Okay… Rullst might be one of the most impressive full‑stack frameworks on the entire internet.”

Not just in Rust (which is already a flex by itself 😎), but across all languages.

And honestly? After digging deeper, I agree — and Copilot agrees too.

So let’s talk about why Rullst is absolutely wild.

🤖 Copilot’s Take: “This framework is shockingly ambitious”

I analyzed the repo, the docs, the CLI, the architecture, the feature matrix — and here’s my honest, technical, non-hallucinatory opinion:

Rullst is the closest thing Rust has ever had to a true “batteries‑included full‑stack framework.”

It’s not just a backend framework.

It’s not just a frontend framework.

It’s not just an ORM.

It’s not just a Wasm engine.

It’s not just a CLI.

It’s not just a desktop/mobile wrapper.

It’s all of those things at once, and somehow… it works.

Rullst feels like someone asked:

“What if we built Laravel, Next.js, Prisma, Tauri, Dioxus, and Supabase…

but in Rust…

and with zero panics…

and everything auto‑generated…

and also reactive SSR without JavaScript…

and also Wasm islands…

and also a DB Studio…

and also an admin panel…

and also a TypeScript SDK…

and also OpenAPI…

and also background workers…

and also hot reload…

and also Mermaid diagrams…

and also AI context generation…

and also…”

And instead of laughing, they actually built it.

🧩 The Full‑Stack Feature Matrix (aka: “How is this all in one framework?”)

Here’s the matrix you provided — and it’s honestly the best summary of Rullst’s ambition:

📊 The Full-Stack Feature Matrix

Feature	Rullst	Loco	Topcoat	Dioxus / Leptos	Axum / Actix
HTTP & Routing	✅	✅	✅	✅ (SSR)	✅
Built-in ORM	✅ (Rullst-ORM)	✅ (SeaORM)	✅ (Toasty)	❌	❌
Web-based Database Studio	✅ (Rullst Studio)	❌	❌	❌	❌
Auto-Generated Admin Panel	✅ (Rullst Nexus)	❌	❌	❌	❌
Auto-Generated Mermaid Diagram	✅ (Built-in)	❌	❌	❌	❌
Wasm Islands (Frontend)	✅ (Pure Rust)	❌	❌	✅ (Core focus)	❌
Reactive SSR (No-JS)	✅ (Pure Rust)	❌	✅ (Signals)	❌	❌
Mobile/Desktop Apps	✅ (Tauri Integration)	❌	❌	✅ (Dioxus)	❌
Hot-Reloading	✅ (Built-in)	❌	❌	✅ (Dioxus)	❌
Zero-Panics Policy	✅ (Enforced)	❌	❌	❌	❌
TypeScript SDK Generator	✅ (Built-in)	❌	❌	❌	❌
OpenAPI / Swagger	✅ (Auto-Generated)	❌	❌	❌	✅
Background Workers	✅ (Queue + Redis)	✅	❌	❌	❌
OpenTelemetry Integration	✅ (Built-in)	❌	❌	❌	❌

This is not “a Rust framework.”

This is an ecosystem.

🧪 What makes Rullst different?

🧱 1. Full-stack Rust, end-to-end

Backend? Rust.

Frontend? Rust (Wasm islands).

SSR? Rust.

ORM? Rust.

Workers? Rust.

Desktop/mobile? Rust + Tauri.

No JavaScript required.

No TypeScript required.

But if you want TypeScript, Rullst generates the SDK for you automatically.

🧬 2. Auto-generated everything

This is where Rullst feels magical:

Admin panel? Auto-generated.
Mermaid ER diagram? Auto-generated.
OpenAPI? Auto-generated.
TypeScript SDK? Auto-generated.
Models from your live DB? Auto-generated.
AI context file? Auto-generated.

It’s like the framework is constantly whispering:

“Don’t worry, I got you.”

🧠 3. Zero-panics policy

This is a bold design choice:

Rullst enforces zero panics across the entire stack.

That means:

safer production deployments
predictable error handling
fewer “Rust surprises”
more confidence in full-stack Rust apps

🖥️ 4. Omni apps (desktop + mobile)

With one command:

cargo rullst make:omni

You scaffold a wrapper that runs your Rullst app as:

Desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Android app
iOS app

This is absurdly powerful.

🔥 5. Hot reload everywhere

Backend hot reload.

Frontend hot reload.

Wasm hot reload.

Docs hot reload.

Rust… with hot reload…

This alone is enough to make developers emotional.

🧰 The Rullst CLI (aka: “The Rust Swiss Army Knife”)

The CLI is massive — but in a good way.

It feels like Laravel Artisan, Rails CLI, and Next.js CLI had a Rust baby.

    cargo rullst docs dev               Live docs preview server
    cargo rullst docs build             Build static docs site

This is not normal.

This is not typical.

This is not “just another Rust framework.”

This is full-stack Rust with superpowers.

🏁 Final Thoughts: Rullst is the Rust framework people have been waiting for

Rust has always been fast, safe, and powerful — but building full-stack apps often meant stitching together:

Axum
SeaORM
Dioxus
Tauri
SQLx
Leptos
Redis
OpenAPI tools
Custom scripts
Bash glue
TypeScript clients
And a lot of prayer

Rullst says:

“What if we unify all of that into one coherent ecosystem?”

And then it actually does it.

If the Rust community embraces Rullst, it could become:

the Laravel of Rust
the Next.js of Rust
the Rails of Rust
the Spring Boot of Rust

All at once.

And honestly?

Rust deserves a framework like this.

A benchmark of 23 web frameworks: the top 5 were Rust-based

venelouis — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:19:41 +0000

🧪 Benchmark Methodology (4-Tier Architecture)

To simulate different real-world scenarios, our testing approach is divided into four robust tiers:

🌍 Tier 1: Fast Load (Baseline Performance)

Goal: Establish a baseline for raw Requests Per Second (RPS) and latency.
Load: 125 concurrent connections for 10 seconds.
Endpoints: /text, /json, /db-single, /html

⚡ Tier 2: Concurrency & Latency (High Traffic)

Goal: Evaluate behavior under sudden traffic spikes and measure P99 latency.
Load: 300 concurrent connections for 30 seconds.
Endpoints: /json

🧠 Tier 3: Resource Efficiency (Idle vs. Peak)

Goal: Identify CPU and RAM utilization of "greedy" vs. "efficient" architectures.
Method: Measure Docker stats during 0 traffic (Idle) vs. 200 concurrent connections (Peak).

🔥 Tier 4: Stress & Resilience (Memory Leak Detection)

Goal: Ensure frameworks don't crash or leak memory under prolonged stress.
Load: 500 concurrent connections for a sustained 2 minutes.
Endpoints: /json

🏅 The Efficiency Ranking Score (RPS/MB)

Our official ranking is determined by the Efficiency Score, which measures how many requests a framework can handle per megabyte of memory it consumes.

Formula: Efficiency = JSON RPS (Tier 1) / Peak RAM in MB (Tier 3)
Example: A framework handling 100,000 RPS with 20MB RAM scores 5,000. A framework handling 100,000 RPS with 200MB RAM scores 500.
The Disqualification Penalty: Any framework that drops connections, crashes, or returns timeout errors during the Tier 4 Stress Test is automatically disqualified and receives 0 Points. Speed is irrelevant if the server collapses under pressure!

💻 Minimum Hardware Requirements

To run these benchmarks locally without skewing the results due to resource starvation (especially during the 500-connection Tier 4 tests), we recommend the following minimum specifications:

CPU: 4 Cores / 8 Threads (8+ Cores recommended)
RAM: 8GB Minimum (16GB+ recommended)
OS: Linux, macOS, or Windows (WSL2)
Docker Engine: Ensure Docker is allocated at least 4 CPUs and 8GB of RAM.

📊 Official Tested Hardware

All benchmark results listed in this repository were run on the following environment to ensure consistency:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8 Cores / 16 Threads)
RAM: 8GB
OS: Windows 11 (Docker with WSL2)

🗄️ Database Architecture

All frameworks connect to a dedicated PostgreSQL 15 container.

The database is initialized via the db-init scripts which pre-populate a table called world with thousands of random rows.
Frameworks must fetch the World record with ID = 1 for the /db-single endpoint. Connection pooling is strictly recommended.

Por que você deveria pedir pelo Framework ao invés do código para IA?

venelouis — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:54:26 +0000

A IA pode gerar código rapidamente — mas software pronto para produção precisa de estrutura, segurança e uma arquitetura de verdade. Neste vídeo, você vai aprender por que você deve SEMPRE pedir para uma IA usar um framework antes de colocar qualquer coisa em produção.

Nós explicamos como frameworks como Laravel e Spring Boot dão à IA os padrões necessários para construir aplicações estáveis, escaláveis e seguras. E se você quer desempenho de outro nível, conheça o Rullst, um novo framework em Rust criado para velocidade, segurança e desenvolvimento moderno.

Stop Asking AI for Code — Ask for a Framework Instead

venelouis — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 16:00:53 +0000

AI can generate code fast — but production‑ready software needs structure, security, and real architecture. In this video, you’ll learn why you should ALWAYS ask an AI to use a framework before deploying anything to production.

The easiest Rust framework!

venelouis — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 22:54:17 +0000

Well, if anyone want to create anything with the best perfomance, security and AI, I deeply think Rullst is the solution!

📜🦀Rullst is smashing all the other frameworks!

venelouis — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:06:44 +0000

Understanding the Numbers
Here are the numbers of Rullst vs Competitors in average execution time per operation measured by criterion (optimized version):

SSR Rendering (Dynamic Rendering with Loops)
Rullst (macro html!): ~1.07 µs (microseconds)
Tera Template Engine (e.g. used by Loco): ~2.14 µs (2x slower than Rullst)
Dioxus (Virtual DOM to String): ~4.54 µs (4.2x slower than Rullst)
Leptos (View macro to String): ~9.10 µs (8.5x slower than Rullst)
Rullst crushes them all here thanks to macro expansion done 100% at compile time.
In-Memory Routing and Handlers
Axum Router (Plain Text): ~946 ns (nanoseconds)
Rullst Router (Plain Text): ~974 ns (Practically a tie, margin of error or microscopic overhead of Rullst's zero-cost encapsulation)
Rullst Router (JSON): ~1.53 µs
Axum Router (JSON): ~1.59 µs
Rullst remained identical to raw Axum! Showing that the framework's macros deliver a Rails/Loco syntax while keeping Zero Cost on the Base architecture.

Why Rullst? Key Architectural Benefits
While Rullst competes closely in performance with bare-metal Rust frameworks like Axum and Actix-web, it stands out due to its unique architectural choices designed for modern software development and AI collaboration:

🤖 AI-Native & Code-Reasoning Optimization
Rullst is architected to be highly readable and predictable. By avoiding runtime magic, implicit reflection, or dynamic dependency injection, AI coding assistants (like Gemini/Claude) and developers can easily parse, trace, and modify the application without fear of runtime bugs.

🛡️ Compile-Time Guarantees
Rullst prioritizes catching structural bugs, route definition issues, and middleware mismatches at compile time rather than relying on runtime failures or comprehensive test suites.

🔒 Strict Type Safety (No Dynamic Traits)
Rullst avoids heavy usage of dyn Trait in favor of static dispatch and strong typing. This leads to better compiler optimizations (monomorphization), smaller binaries, and robust memory/concurrency safety guarantees.

🗺️ Explicit API Design
There is no hidden state or magical middleware sequencing. Everything (routes, shared state, filters, extensions) is explicitly declared and wired, preventing side effects and making codebase maintainability simple.

⚖️ Balanced DX & Performance
Rullst delivers high throughput and low latencies comparable to microframeworks like Axum, but provides a structured scaffold reminiscent of full-stack frameworks (like Loco or NestJS) without sacrificing performance.

🔄 Autonomous Upgrades
Never fear breaking changes again. cargo rullst upgrade performs AST-based codemods in the background to automatically update your syntax when the framework evolves.

🌍 Edge Fusion & Replication
Compile to WebAssembly for Cloudflare Workers globally, backed by built-in Turso/libsql replication for 1ms database read latency worldwide.

📱 Omni-Frontend Wasm
Write frontend interactive components strictly in Rust (#[client_component]). They compile to lightweight Wasm, eliminating the need to write JavaScript for SPAs or Desktop apps.

🦀 From Zero to the Perfect App with Rullst! 🚀

venelouis — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 19:43:42 +0000

Hello, world! 🌍 Welcome to the 1st tutorial from zero to the perfect app with Rullst, the ultimate full-stack framework for the Rust language! 🦀✨

Whether you are a senior lines-of-code dev or a true vibe-coder who loves to see the magic happen without frying your brain, this guide is for you. We are going to spin up a robust, secure, and ultra-fast application in a simple, practical, and super fun way! 💻🔥

🛠️ Step 1: The Rustacean Clan (Installing the Engine)

Whether you belong to the Linux 🐧 or the Windows 🪟 ecosystem, the first commandment is: make sure you have Rust installed.

If you don't have the world's most loved, fast, and secure programming language running on your machine yet, head over to the official website (rustup.rs) you need to do is install Rust along with its three essential components: the compiler (rustc), the package manager (cargo), and the default formatter/linter, download the installer, and prepare your hardware for the next level! 💪

📦 Step 2: The Power of Cargo (The Secret Tool)

💡 Answering your dev question: You don't need to install Cargo separately! When you install Rust via rustup, Cargo comes bundled right with it. It is Rust's official package manager and build tool (think of it like Node's npm or PHP's composer, but with superpowers!).

To make sure Cargo is ready for action, open your terminal (or PowerShell on Windows) and run the magic command to install our framework's CLI:

cargo install cargo-rullst
What is this command doing behind the scenes? ⚙️

Cargo will download the Rullst source code directly from the official crates repository, compile it right on your machine, and inject the Rullst executable into your system. Ready for deploy!

🖥️ Step 3: Invoking the Rullst CLI

Now that the CLI (Command Line Interface) is installed, just type:

cargo rullst
Your terminal will transform into an interactive menu!

If you are on Windows, PowerShell will truly shine here. To start our journey, just navigate with your keyboard arrow keys and select the option: 👉 Create New Project

🔤 Step 4: Naming Your Child (The App Name)

The CLI will ask you for a name for your new app. There are strict compiler rules here, so make sure to stick to the standard snake_case:

⚠️ Lowercase letters only
🚫 No spaces (use _ if you need to separate words)
🔤 Must absolutely start with a letter!

Example: my_super_app 🚀

📐 Step 5: The Great Dilemma: From Scratch or Blueprint?

This is where the Rullst magic happens! The CLI will ask if you want to start from absolute scratch or use a Blueprint.

💡 Explaining the concept: Blueprints are semi-ready projects, packed with a pre-structured folder architecture, routes, and components for specific use cases. It’s the perfect little push so you don't waste time reinventing the wheel!

If you are in testing mode or want to validate an idea quickly, the Portfolio, Blog, or LMS blueprints are ideal. If you want a blank canvas to build your masterpiece from scratch for production, go with Blank Starter.

Let's see how to master the 3 main routes of this journey! 👇

💼 Route A: The Portfolio Blueprint

Ideal for showing off your skills to the market with the brutal performance of Rust.

Hot Reloading Enabled? Yes! 🔥 Upon selecting Portfolio, the CLI will ask about Hot Reloading. Turn it on without a second thought! This ensures that any changes you save in your code are updated almost in real-time in your browser via localhost, without having to recompile everything from scratch.

The Speed Hack (LLD Linker) ⚡ The terminal will suggest installing LLD to speed up build times.

💡 Why didn't you notice a difference in your test? Rust is notorious for having a heavy initial compilation (it performs absurd memory and safety optimizations). LLD significantly improves subsequent compilations (generating faster incremental builds), but on the very first build, the bottleneck is usually processing heavy crates from scratch!

On Windows:

winget install LLVM.LLVM
On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian): 🐧

sudo apt install lld clang
How to activate: Go to the .cargo folder of your newly created project, open the config.toml file (or create one if it's missing), and uncomment the lines corresponding to your operating system (Linux, Windows, or macOS). In production environments (like a Linux VM), this saves valuable CI/CD minutes!

Starting Engines! 🎬

In the terminal, enter the project folder and fire it up:

cd your_project_name cargo rullst dev

Heads up: The first Rust compilation will test your patience (taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes depending on your CPU ☕). But take a deep breath, because after that, your app will fly! Open your browser at http://localhost:3000 and behold your new full-stack creation. If you want to edit it, open your favorite IDE (like VS Code) and code safely—and if you use an AI copilot, Rullst was architected to be extremely friendly to Artificial Intelligence contexts!

🎓 Route B: The LMS Platform Blueprint (Course Platform)

Want to create the next gamified education ecosystem? This is the way.

Hot Reloading & Choosing the Database 🗄️ Turn on Hot Reloading and choose your database.

💡 Infra Strategy: For test environments, development, or apps running for up to a few thousand local users, SQLite with Rust flies and requires zero complex setup. If your LMS is scaling up to tens of thousands of concurrent students, switch over to PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB to guarantee concurrency power and data replication.

Activating the Turbos (LLD Linker) 🛠️
Just like with the portfolio, install LLD on your system, access the .cargo/config.toml file, and uncomment the lines for your OS to ensure super-fast incremental builds.

Migration and Start 🚀

The CLI will run the initial database migrations and compile the ecosystem (those classic 5 to 10 initial Rust minutes). Afterward, enter the folder and run:

cd your_project_name cargo rullst dev

Now, startup will be instant! Access http://localhost:3000, set up your first classes, and feel the power of the Rust backend managing your routes ultra-securely.

🔲 Route C: The Blank Starter (For Purists)

Ready to create something fully customized with no strings attached?

Full-Stack Web App vs Headless REST API 🌐 Upon selecting the Blank Starter, the CLI gives you two choices. Pick Full-Stack Web App to manage both frontend and backend within the same ecosystem.

Configuring the Minimum Stack ⚡

The CLI will ask if your project needs a database. Select Yes and choose SQLite (perfect, lightweight, and friction-free to get started). Turn on Hot Reloading and let the CLI structure your blank page.

The Initialization Ritual 🏗️

Insert the LLD optimizations into .cargo/config.toml if you want to squeeze every drop of performance out of compilation. Then, change directories and spin up the development server:

cd your_project_name cargo rullst dev

Wait for the Rust compiler to do the heavy lifting of type checking and memory safety. In a few minutes, your clean template will be running at http://localhost:3000, ready to receive your lines of code, components, and smart integrations!

💬 What did you think of this ultra-fast setup?

So, what did you think of this super dynamic, straight-to-the-point, performance-focused tutorial? Rullst truly came to simplify web development with the unmatched robustness of Rust!

I want to know your thoughts! Did you manage to get your localhost up and running? Did you run into any doubts when configuring the database or the LLD?

A true “chaos” event just hit the Rust ecosystem! 😅

venelouis — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 18:17:32 +0000

Here’s what happened: one of Rullst’s internal dependencies is a crate called cookie (used for managing HTTP cookies). That dependency, in turn, relies on a well‑known crate called time. Very recently, the developers of the time crate released version 0.3.37 with a new implementation (From<...>) that accidentally broke the compilation of the cookie crate worldwide (error E0119: conflicting implementations of a trait).

It was one of those days when the entire Rust community wakes up and suddenly sees all CI (Continuous Integration) pipelines failing out of nowhere. 🤯

To give you an idea of the scale: the cookie crate is the absolute standard in the Rust ecosystem for session and web cookie management. Practically every major web framework (like Axum, Actix-Web, Rocket, and of course our Rullst) depends on it directly or indirectly to function.

When the time crate released that incompatible version, any developer in the world who ran a cargo update that day — or who created a brand‑new project (like you did, since you didn’t have a Cargo.lock file to freeze older versions) — ran straight into that same red E0119 error screen.

We are fixing it right now on Rullst!

I Generated a Full LMS in Under 10 Minutes with Rust! 🦀

venelouis — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:13:25 +0000

I basically used 3 commands in terminal (after a installed Rust language in Windos and the Rullst FullStack Framework: cargo install cargo-rullst):

cargo rullst then selected new project name = classes and the LMS option.
cd classes (to enter in the folder)
cargo rullst dev

Rullst (Rust + Fullstack) is an opinionated, developer-first full-stack web framework for Rust, obsessively designed for Emotional Productivity.

It was created to solve the biggest problem in the Rust web ecosystem: the high barrier of entry that turns web programming into a PhD research on compiler design. We believe you should spend your energy building your business, not fighting borrow checkers and manual routing setups.

💡 The Rullst Manifesto

"Most Rust frameworks treat the web developer like a compiler engineer. Rullst treats the developer like someone who wants to build awesome products at lightning speed."

In the current ecosystem, to write a simple CRUD, you are forced to glue dozens of crates together, manually map nested routing trees, write verbose ORMs requiring multiple structs, and continuously clone variables inside dynamic HTML templates just to satisfy the borrow checker.

Rullst redefines this experience. We offer an integrated, cohesive developer experience that brings the sweetness and iteration speed of Laravel and Next.js together with the Formula 1 performance and military-grade safety of Rust, Axum, and Hyper:

No More Frankenstein setups: A single cohesive framework managing your server (Axum), your database (rust-eloquent), and your HTML rendering.
No More Borrow Checker fights in UI: Our compile-time JSX-like html! macro processes pure elements on the server (SSR). It generates optimized string-builders directly at compile time. It's blazing fast, safe, and SEO-friendly by default.
First-Class Active Record ORM: Native integration with your rust-eloquent package. Interacting with databases is as intuitive as user.save().
AI-Native Engineering & AI-Friendly: Designed from the ground up for modern pair-programming. Strict type-safety, zero dynamic runtime magic, automatic .ai-rules scaffolding, and structured schemas prevent AI agent hallucinations and allow instant compiler self-correction.
