Actix Runtime relevance #26

Open naturallymitchell opened 5 years ago

what use might actix-rt have for actix-lua? (actix-rt docs)

poga commented 5 years ago

I haven't take a look at actix-net and actix-web 1.0 yet. However, since they will be the main focus for the future actix. I will try to figure out if there's any reasonable update for actix-lua.

OTOH, actix will continue to work with actix-web 1.0. So I guess actix-lua will still be somewhat usable even without any update

afaict, actix-net has several, almost unrelated, libraries in it. I don't mean that actix-lua could change to leverage its web or even networking related libraries, rather actix-rt looks like a whole new runtime which overlaps with actix-lua to a degree that will probably surprise you, if my analysis is right. you can see it in action in actix-test-server and actix-text-server's docs.
