A Legendary Web Framework is Reborn... In Rust

[codetothemoon]

As mentioned in the video, I'm currently working my way through a Quantum Computing course on Brilliant. Highly recommend the course and Brilliant in general. They have courses on programming, LLMs, and other domains as well.

Thanks for this video! Really well done, you managed to capture the essence of what we're trying to do with Loco. Appreciate the coverage of the back story because that's been an important driver of the features and maturity of the framework. Thanks! 🚂♥

This is surreal seeing how I started programming (Ruby, vaguely in 2013-2025, using RPG Maker, never rails….then seriously again in 2021-2022 with Rails.) getting to witness two paths merge together.
Rust is really unstoppable. I was already kind of sold with Bevy, although I havent built anything big yet.
Anyway, back to the video.

Rust in Rails?! I'm not getting into any train going through that!!!

This is great, now I will wait till everyone complains on how bloated this is and Rust Sinatra comes out using just Axum, SQLX and Maud

Man, this is pretty cool. I got REALLY into Ruby on Rails when it first showed up around 2006, and it was my primary work environment from 2007 to 2013. I kind of burned out on web development after that and ended up mostly doing back end stuff, so I haven't really kept up on the space since then, but I'll keep my eye on Loco.

The first time I used Rails I remember thinking « we need that in rust », anyways great video

I would just use Elixir/Phoenix and use Rust only if needed, with the help of Rustler.

A lot of the value in Rails *is Ruby*, in that it enables very rapid slop / prototyping.

I find it hilarious how he tried to build ruby in node and updates always broke his project. I feel that’s the big problem with react is that nothing is stable and your build always breaks as they just have breaking changes all the time and because everything runs client side you have to keep up to maintain the security updates and there is just this constant maintenance cost with JavaScript. To me that is the appeal of rust as a compiled language it will have way less breaking changes and way more stability

Yo carlitos, this framwork is loco man!

I've been programming since before the web, and when Rails emerged its community felt to me like a specific type of cult. Once Rust gained a following, it community felt to me like the same type of cult as if it was the Ruby cult reincarnated. Now that Rails had made it to Rust I think my gut feelings about the two communities have been validated. 😳

Damn what a coincidence. I was looking into loco like 4 days ago lol!

[kamertonaudiophileplayer]

I use currently Rust on CGI. It works pretty well. But this tool looks quite good and similar to a framework I used for Java.

Solid video, very cool to see Rails inspire another framework

Rust on Rails, alias Hungarian State Railways (MÁV)

Holy crap, this is really cool :D. I've been doing webdev using full stack JS frameworks (Cringe) like Svelte + Svelte Kit or whatever, but Loco looks awesome and I'm planning on using it for my next project. Also, it'll be cool not to have to update my JS packages every 2 days because of some "high severity CVE" in some obscure package that the framework depends on.

i build my first real estate business using ruby and angular years ago. it is still live without any issues

[arcstur]

I would prefer just SQLx instead of an ORM...

Hopefully loco drops the external crates and decides to incorporate their own versions of their own services to not have the same issues like in JS ecosystem.
