Rocket was nice but has stalled, I read the author has health problems to focus on, so my go-to framework is axum for now.
What I miss the most in the rust ecosystem compared to the kotlin+spring boot stuff I do at work is the dependency injection, I haven't found anything I like much in rust.
I’m the opposite, I don’t find much need for “dependency injection” frameworks. It’s trivial to do DI without frameworks.
I’ll believe in rocket when I see releases being cut. Until then I strongly recommend no one touch rocket.
Is there anything else missing that you heard of?
Why does HN have this urge to write this template comment of “oh it’s free software, no complaining no matter how bad the governance is, you should pitch in even if there’s no conceivable way to do so”.
Like, did you even bother learning anything about rocket before writing this comment? Did you feel very virtuous when you wrote it?
Seems more like an entitled open source user issue rather than a repo issue, he's never slept on any security notifications as far as I know.
The 0.5 release was a big re-write, it takes time. I likely will still use 0.4 in future because not having to mess around with async is nicer and it's still perfectly fast enough for many usecases.
I loved rocket when I first learned about it, now two years passed and it stalled because no one could pick up the project, there were (I don’t know it there still are) a lot of PR's from the community that were waiting for someone to review and merge it.
But if rocket is being migrating to an org, kudos to the project and hope it continues to innovate like in the past.
