FWIF I have played a bit with Actix for a few small projects, and it wasn't for me. It's a very "battery's included" library which does a lot of things for you, like transforming data structures into responses automagically. It feels a bit like rails where you just have to know the magic words sometimes to make things happen, and it's not exactly clear how things work.

I think that's a great description! Every 'batteries included' Rust web framework I've used so far makes the same boilerplate/magic trade off as Rails, though some magic has felt more intuitive than others.

Hyper doesn't remove much boilerplate but it's one of the most intuitive options that I've seen.
