I really like Axum. Like... a lot. However, it feels petty weird sometimes as the extractor thing results in somewhat unusual-looking function signatures. Not a real problem and something I'm sure I would appreciate more if I understood exactly how it worked... But it makes for really ergonomic definitions of route handlers. Even if it presently feels a little bit like weird or gross dependency injection.

I'd recommend giving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnb_n5YktO8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnb_n5YktO8 a watch if you want to learn how it all works. Although, after watching it I'm pretty convinced Axum is actually an alien technology designed by minds greater than our own...

I wish they extracted the magic functions into a separate library. There is no reason for dependency injection to be tied to HTTP servers.

  Isn’t that the point of Axum? It’s the convenience of route management (and more) built on top of an underlying HTTP server, in this case Hyper.
