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.
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 need what I've written or imported or even though of implementing before I've written anything.
