Why did you choose Rust for the backend and Inferno for the frontend?
P.S. Thank you for your work!
Performance.

At the time of making lemmy, actix (for back end), and inferno, were two of the highest-performing in their areas.
Thank you for your reply!
I wonder how much experience you had with those technologies beforehand.
Edit: found the answers about Rust here and here. Impressive! Would it be reasonable to assume that y'all didn't have much prior experience with Inferno as well as you appear to be very quick and eager learners?
