That's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

From what I can tell, actix was using unsafe code to improve benchmark performance, not because safe code was extra work. That's fine, but it was misleadingly marketed as more than a toy project, and it shouldn't have been.

Further, rewriting a project is very different from just making different coding decisions when maintaining an existing project.

I still think the actix critics are showing how irresponsible they are for blindly using a library without researching it well.
