Great post. I do the same thing for all of my Rust web servers too. I don't use anyhow though, prefer rolling everything myself - which as you call out is a pain after a while.

I used to use Actix for a web project, but the Websocket story was severely lacking. Actix is non-work-stealing multi-threaded (to achieve "performance", I presume) and thus it has to use a non-async Actor model for inter-Websocket interactions. This meant that I could not use an async DB pool or an async HTTP requests library within my Websocket code.

Alternatively, Axum is built by the same people that made tokio, is work-stealing multi-threaded, and the Websocket code is async be default. It is just overall a better library.

I've happy about the recent stabilization of WebGPU in Chrome, and excited for the rest of the browsers to follow suit.

I wanted to start experimenting with it, and attempted to do so with Deno (which is what I've been developing in the past few projects), and I'm sad to find out that they recently removed WebGPU from its interface due to slower start up times and larger binary sizes [0][1] :/ I hope they re-enable it soon so that I don't have to mess around with tsc and webpack again...

If we don't experiment with getting off of this rock, we're dooming the lives of all known living organisms in the known universe.

An entire universe, void of all life, that doesn't get to experience itself deeply saddens me. Though that might just be the fitness-function within me talking.
