Yeah, agree, IMO Rust community should converge on Rocket and ActixWeb and just stop there.

The next natural step would be properly invest in an actor (OTP-like) framework of which, too, there are too many nowadays. :003:

I have them bookmarked somewhere but as we all know, browser bookmarks are severely broken and under-developed so I can only think of Bastion.rs right now. :icon_rolleyes:
