Anyone got experience using actix web vs rocket? My rough impression is that actix is focused more on performance, rocket on stability and developer ergonomics?

To me, rocket seems much more "batteries included" than actix, which requires you to look around or build your own things if you want to build a bigger app. I'm thinking about authentication, templates, etc.

I'm not really a web dev, though, so I may be wrong, or missing something.

Rocket development has stalled for a while now due to the project owner stepping back as he has some real world stuff to deal with.
My usual reminder that I have a Django-ish template for actix-web that I maintain: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

Now that actix-web 4.0 is out I should be able to finally resolve one of the open issues/PRs, which I was waiting on 4.0 for.
