Just to clarify for others, Actix is a more general actor-based programming framework. Actix-web is a nice little web server framework built on top of that, which you could integrate with other Actix components.

From looking at the two, Actix is more minimalist with direct control, though it has some nice middleware built in. Rocket is a more Rails-like “everything works and is magic” approach. Both seem like they could be great but it depends on your use case.

I tried out actix-web and to be fair I'm not very fluent in Rust yet, so I had a similar experience of not being able to figure out some things readily enough.

So as a result I've opted to using D instead for my current project, I've been able to get more figured out with Vibe.d in shorter time so I'll likely stick to D for this project due to time being a factor against me.
