What's Good
Type-safe extractors catch errors at compile time. Tower middleware ecosystem is reusable. No macros means better IDE support. The Tokio team maintains it.
The Catch
Less batteries-included than frameworks like Actix. Error messages can be cryptic. Some patterns require boilerplate.
Verdict
The web framework that embraces Rust idioms.
