> I also wonder if expectations were unclear. It now sounds like the focus of Actix was on performance and creativity / cleverness and not on being a mature product. I never heard that before. Maybe even the author didn't even originally articulate it so clearly but discovered it through these discussions.
That's actually my main sticking point on this being mostly on the maintainer. From the actix documentation, releases, and promotion, I never got the feeling that it was _not_ meant for production. Even to the point of the comment "Microsoft uses this in production".
And suddenly, "It's creative/fast/research/whatever"? That really feels like trying to sidestep findings because you don't want to lose your spot in the techempower benchmarks. Even more so, when the documentation, etc. is not updated to reflect this new focus, and there's no announcements about it.
