>Actix project has had a consistent history of introducing unsoundness through the use of unsafe for dubious reasons like nebulous performance increases or bypassing Rust's safety guarantees sounds like the author had specific strategic vision - "push the boundaries" - which he clearly explained, and there are other people who don't agree with such an approach, both are valid positions in their own right, and instead of being jerks and trying to shove their approach down the project owner's throat these other people should have just started their own project reflecting their more conservative approach. It is like those people who try to push Linus to use C++ and do other funny stuff in the kernel - one should go and read Linus' responses to the people like these. http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus "Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C. [...] I've come to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really would prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with."
