Getting Started with Nickel
This is part 2 of the Great Rust Web Experiment. For Part 1 see here. I’m building the same relatively small web-application in Rust using both Iron and Nickel, in order to get a feel for both frameworks and determine which framework I prefer. The application is a simple Pastebin clone, designed primarily for use with
curlbut which will also work (to a limited extent) via browser. It supports submitting, deleting, editing, and retrieving pastes (with optional syntax highlighting). -
Getting Started with Iron
After having dealt with far too much PHP, and finding python frameworks like Django and Flask ultimately unsatisfying, I’ve decided to try using Rust. The two big contenders at the moment seem to be Iron and Nickel (there is of course also Rocket, but I’m excluding that for now). So I figure I’ll implement the same simple application in both, and see which one I prefer.

Rocket: a contender for web?
I’ve been getting into Rust recently, and have been extremely impressed with the language, just as a language. However, most of my code ends up in a web application, and thus far Rust has failed to impress in terms of web capabilities.
