Rust Front-End Development with Dioxus

Why Rust for Front-End Development#

I’ve been using React and Next.js for front-end development ever since high school, it was one of the first few things I learned when it came to programming. Recently, I’ve had the itch to learn something new, specifically Rust front-end. As someone with a “.rs” domain, it felt like an inevitable fate. Finally, I can say I put the “.rs” in the “nathan.rs”.

The front-end Rust ecosystem has come a long way in the last few years. We are at a point where we now have Rust frameworks that are actually somewhat usable (huge asterisk). While frameworks like Svelte, Astro, and Solid are making people rethink their approach to front-end development, Rust frameworks like Leptos and Dioxus are also maturing.
