What Hacker News says

4 sources
There is one: Poem[1] The author mentions flask but looking at the "What we need section", I don't think flask covers those. I hate Djago with a passion but if those are the requirements, I think Django is the one that closely resembles what the author is describing. So Poem is not a good candidate either in that regard. Poem is all in all, something that closely resembles FastAPI, which is actually a complement. I've tried half a dozen rust web frameworks and they all come with a ton of boilerplate fiddling with the initial setup. Which is a problem if you want to get things done fast. In that regard, poem nails it. Yes, actix has a considerably better performance but unless you are aiming for sub-30 millisecond responses, then actix is not what you should be looking at to begin with.

In Rust needs a web framework
TypeSpec is great, but if you're working with Rust and you're about to write a new project that will require an OpenApi spec sooner or later, I'd like to recommend a web framework that has spec generation baked in: https://github.com/poem-web/poem (see poem_openapi) All you need to do is derive a trait on your response structs and in return you get an almost perfectly generated spec. Unions, objects, enums are first class citizens. Also, if you're from coming from PHP, the controllers feel very much like symfony controllers. P.s. Please do recommend an ORM that would feel closer to doctrine. I miss doctrine.
