Has anyone done a ubiquitous web framework in Rust (or maybe actually Go) that is similar to Next.js in that it runs the same code (compiled to WebAssembly) on client and server?

If you find a good answer for Rust, I'd be interested. I've done some basic wasm UIs using Rust, and obviously done some purely server-side stuff; but never found anything which combined the two.

Best comparison list I can find is this one: github.com/flosse/rust-web-f… Of which saruon, Dioxus and percy have both virtual DOM and SSR. And the first two of those have lots of commit activity at least.

Turns out yew has (experimental) SSR yew.rs/docs/next/advanced-to… - this stuff is all copying React/Next.js quite closely. I was super surprised function-based components with hooks had been copied into yew! React idioms have a long reach. So as a basic start, yew seems fine.

Oh interesting, I don't think they had any SSR when I was using it.

In turn, Dioxus is new and full of energy - aiming for native mobile support (prototype dioxuslabs.com/reference/mob…) and SSR (via Axum dioxuslabs.com/reference/pla…). Ecosystem, company support, longevity are important. eg Yew doesn't have a list of companies yet: github.com/yewstack/yew/issu…

Showcase companies using Yew Β· Issue #1544 Β· yewstack/yew

This issue serves to gather a list of the companies that already use Yew so we can add a list to the README and the official website.

I think that it will indeed take at least one large company backing it before a Rust stack will really close the gap. Dioxus is interesting looking though, so I'll put it on my list of things to consider next time I want to write a webapp.
