What's Good
Consistently tops TechEmpower benchmarks. Mature ecosystem with middleware and extensions. The actor model enables certain patterns. Documentation is comprehensive.
The Catch
Macro-heavy API differs from idiomatic Rust. The actor foundation is not always needed. Some community history caused concern.
Verdict
Maximum performance when benchmarks matter.
