Hyperlane Framework Learning Journey Basic Setup

The author, a third-year computer science student, shares their journey with the Hyperlane Framework, a Rust web framework that has changed their perspective on modern web development. Initially, the author was worried about the learning curve, but they found the framework's design philosophy to be user-friendly and easy to use. The framework allows for simple and flexible routing, powerful middleware systems, and perfect support for real-time communication. The author was impressed by the framework's performance, which surpassed that of other frameworks, including the Rust standard library and Go's Gin framework. The framework also excelled in memory management, reducing GC pressure through reasonable memory allocation strategies and zero-copy technology. The author used the framework to build a campus second-hand trading platform, which allowed them to experience various features of the framework. The framework's integration with databases was also simple, and the author gained a deep understanding of its design philosophy, which prioritizes simplicity, performance, type safety, and cross-platform compatibility. The author encountered challenges, including understanding asynchronous programming and error handling, but overcame them through practice. The author compares the framework favorably to Express.js and Spring Boot, citing its performance, type safety, and memory safety advantages. The author concludes that the framework has given them a new understanding of modern web development and recommends it to other students.
