  I Like <a href="https://hyper.rs">hyper</a> more than
  <a href="https://actix.rs">Actix Web</a>
</h1>

    I've been using Actix Web as the HTTP service layer for some web
    applications for a while now. I've written several APIs for work and
    personal projects on top of Actix and always thought it was pretty spiffy
    for what it does: listen for HTTP requests and respond to them with code
    I've written. I was always a little bummed about how large the dependency
    tree was with the project though, and how long it took to compile.

  <p>
    Recently I've been trying to write or depend on as little code as is
    possible to get the job done, so I've been trying to take a look at whether
    or not I
    <em>need</em> what I've written or imported or even though of implementing
    before I've written anything.
