I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up. ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project. How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know. Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backstory. https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/21/rust_actix_web_framew... https://steveklabnik.com/writing/a-sad-day-for-rust https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/1289 https://github.com/fafhrd91/actix-web-postmortem |
