What he created and did was and is amazing.

He wouldn't have had the attention or the criticism that he got if it hadn't been so impressive. I think when something's good enough, people may actually criticize more freely. Some of that is because the project becomes worth the scrutiny. But some of it is also a status thing. If your work is good enough to give you a high enough status, you change categories a bit in peoples minds. They start to criticize you in the way that they'd criticize other entities that seem strong enough that they don't need to be protected any more.

I hope that the actix ecosystem can stick around and keep moving forward. But even if not, I think fafhrd91 made impressive contributions and I'm glad to have used and learned from his work.
