Litestar seems to have a very active social outreach team while fastapi seems to have an active user base to me. It's strange to see how often it gets shilled for by its maintainers/fans in python threads to the point it makes me uncomfortable with the project.

open governance and trying to get users make you uncomfortable while not merging prs, bus factor 1 and starting 300 projects with the same basic model ("do things - now with pydantic!") make you happy? fastapi has early mover moat and was great 3 years ago. but it's time to move on, there has been innovation. search for projects mentioning ovines (can't shill!)

btw, to complete the astroturfing, falcon is still the sanest python web library by a longshot (constructing a controller using init and wiring it manually? heresy, must use some bullcrap fake DI system), but it's completely ignored by almost everyone (and maybe dead-ish).
