> Switched to using Rocket because of some controversy in the Actix stuff
That's the first time I've heard someone making a technical choice solely by something that is not technical.
Did you change from Actix because you're afraid that the controversy would eventually hit your own written software? Or just felt bad supporting something that others didn't want people to support? Would love to hear the reasoning behind the change.
- ibrault 6y agoTo be fair, I believe the controversy began with disagreements over the previous maintainer's use of unsafe and spiraled from there. So not entirely non-technical.
- renewiltord 6y agoOh, I don't care if there's all the politics, but the code disappeared. Using a dependency that disappears like that didn't make me happy. It was totally a technical decision to try to avoid an evolutionary dead-end. I wasn't even upset about the unsafe. I didn't care.
