       | "That odd, that project is dead now. Why release something
       | dependent on it?"
       | 
       | But then I went to the actix-web git repo and low and behold it
       | is not dead.
       | 
       | Then scratching my head, I re-read this post from my history:
       | 
       | https://words.steveklabnik.com/a-sad-day-for-rust
       | 
       | Clearly stating the actix-web project was dead and I recall going
       | to the link in the article to: https://github.com/actix/actix-web
       | that had a post from the maintainer stating that the project was
       | dead.
       | 
       | Anyone know what is going on with this project?

         | it's living on.

           | I extensively use Rust, but honestly, I see that the entire

           | 
           | Besides that, slapping more seemingly foreign and non-
           | standard technologies together sounds like someone is cooking
           | for a menu for carnage and chaos which requires lots and lots
           | of tests to write.

           | Damn. Thank you. This comment had my dying in a restaurant
           | earlier. I really enjoy writing rust and I was sad when Steve
           | was sad. I had a similar thought, "why when actix is dead?"
           | I'm glad actix is back.
           | 
           | I was coming to SHOW HN a rust tool I made when, boom, front-
           | page: actix is dead.
           | 
           | Every journey has its obstacles.

         | Yes, the creator of actix-web has appointed a new maintainer
         | after realising it was unfair to just up and delete it. The
         | issue is here: https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/1289
         | 
         | The project future is obviously in flux with this transition,
         | but I am hoping myself & other contributors will be able to
         | carve a path forward.
