Up(sun) and running with Rust
Blog post from Upsun
Rémi Lejeune discusses the evolving popularity and adoption of programming languages, focusing on Rust and its integration into the Upsun platform. While Go has quickly become a favorite for web applications and DevOps tools due to its simplicity and Google backing, Rust has seen a more gradual uptake, akin to Python, due to its higher barrier to entry and exposure to low-level details. Rust is gaining traction as a system programming language and is now being used for web servers and WebAssembly projects, thanks to its robust tooling and ecosystem. The language is supported on Upsun, allowing developers to utilize its capabilities for high-performance backend servers. Rust's support is currently in beta on Upsun, and the platform encourages feedback from its community to improve and expand its offerings.
