It's the only web framework in Rust that has thus far reached maintenance mode because it became feature complete, was heavily vetted by many teams, and is architecturally mature. It's not just really fast but has all of the bells and whistles. Further, people are actively contributing to the project. Replacing remaining sound yet unsafe blocks with fully safe rust, without taxing performance, is the remaining, ongoing effort at hand.

Your claims about being dead are wildly exaggerated and misleading.

You're in NYC as am I. The Rust NYC meet-up is a great way to connect and learn more.

I’d say they’re outdated. The project after the original author was frustrated with some in the community, found a way to allow the project to continue, which is overall good, but still a very disappointing episode.

Yes, indeed, but calling it dead and accusing the OP of acting irresponsible requires attention.

What happened to Nikolay could happen to anyone who stands up for one's craftsmanship and refuses to change out of principle. You, or anyone, can wind up being targeted.

I agree. I wanted to make sure it was clear why people might have the misunderstanding that the project development isn’t continuing. I think it’s worth directly correcting that perspective.
