alt Hacker News> The implication being of course that writing code is now extremely cheap and you can build anything you like in any language, so why not choose to rewrite everything in Rust?
I've been out of web dev for a while now and forgot these people exist. Why would you even compare framework with a language? Why would you want an AI to build a custom web framework around Rust? Why would you want to never read the code AI writes? It's infinitely easier for me to have a conversation with AI about something I know and understand.

Because it is blazingly and predictably fast with tiny memory footprint.

Because it's Rust.

That's why you tell the AI to build (or translate) a framework, rather than the app. Frameworks have shapes you know so it's easier to talk about them with AI.
