4 years ago People don't generally remark on the good things, only the bad. It's a quirk of human cognition – I won't say flaw, because it's often useful – that can have disastrous effects. Especially when combined with large groups of people, where the most vocal fraction has the most voice. Doing people favours shouldn't submit you to added scrutiny, but… it does, and I fully understand why you don't want to carry on dealing with the abuse that entails.
We, the unwashed masses, don't deserve a single second more of your time. But we're grateful for what you've given so far. Please let us keep what you have made already, for it is precious.
@fafhrd91 Don't listen to the BS from the supposedly most friendly community ever [Rust]. I review many frameworks and Actix is head and shoulders above anything else I've seen in the rust community including tide which is being built by supposed community expert, numerous contributors and for months it's still not ready for production. Many people have used Actix in production with spectacular results. I wouldn't listen to the comments of several haters. If they weren't haters, they would roll up their sleeves and contribute to making it even better. Personally I don't want to see the framework go but do what's best for your own mental state.
Even if it's one person that loves and uses the project... you've succeeded. Change starts with impacting one life and I believe open source is the same. There are several advocates of Actix here and we'll continue to defend it. Don't be disheartened and discouraged, you can't save everyone but you can impact, influence, encourage and support many as you've done. Keep going, don't look back... I guarantee you, as I have, many will continue to fall in love with Actix, your work and effort. That's the reward and not the voice of a bunch of irritable critics that have not and probably cannot do better.
