You're probably thinking of Actix and the unsafe/TechEmpower thing? I've never seen Axum involved in any notable drama.

Yeah that one.
Yeah; but that was 6 years ago - from way back in 2020. Was it really that traumatic for people?
That was part of Rust Evangelism Striking Force meme genesis.

And then we have the whole reflection drama with the author going back contributing to C and C++ ISO work.

That was just the community pressuring actix to take safety more seriously after the author dismissed safety risks and was proven wrong.

It had nothing to do with fighting over which language is best lol
