Totally agree with this.

I can spin up a generic Axum backend service within probably about half an hour to an hour that contains most of the things I need (auth, CRUD, similar things) once I know what I need, configuration and business logic depending. I think the key phrasing is primarily "when you're familiar with Rust" - if you're not familiar, then it will definitely be a slog.

Certain things that would require you to manually implement a complex trait (for example, Send + Sync + 'static plus whatever else) would probably slow you down though, but presumably by that time you probably already know what you're doing.
