If you just want to use it, try here - https://pdf2md.trieve.ai . I think the LLM's are astoundingly good at converting complex powerpoint style infographics. I wouldn't normally think folks on HN would find this interesting as the general concept has been posted about already in the past few months. We were heavily inspired by Zerox[1]. However, the stack we went with was fun and over-engineered which is more likely to create interesting discussion. We use all the same tools at Trieve (our main product), but wanted to see if they would be a good fit for something that needed to get built in a tighter timeline and we think they were! Took us 2 weeks to get this setup end-to-end and it's by no means complete (see roadmap in linked README). However, it's cool that a relatively cookie cutter web service like this can be created with pure ope

Not to compare but i realice this is something you can do with rust with few lines https://github.com/actix/actix-web/tree/master/actix-http

I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up. ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project. How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know. Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backst

I am not completely sure, but I think pretty much all frameworks in Rust have complex dependencies and codebase not optimized for fast compile times. You could check out Axum [1], at the first glance seems similar to actix [2]. Both use tokio which is by itself pretty big I think. Folks at makepad poured enormous effort in keeping dependency graph minimal. [1] https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/ [2] https://github.com/actix/actix-web/

Here's a discussion on actix-web and panic handlers: https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/1501 Some technical limits, a lot of cultural opposition. While it is possible to have a panic handler, it's generally viewed as a bad idea. Not everything is UnwindSafe, there are limits to how much a panic handler can do, concerns about memory leaks. Again, the caller can turn it into a panic easily enough if that's what they want. leave the decision in their hands.

For those who aren't aware, this wasn't actually the end of the story; the original author ended up deciding to let someone else take over after all, and actix is still actively developed and used: https://github.com/actix/actix-web

No I am not referring to that thread. I am referring to the thread further down where someone compares using a memory unsafe language to an illegal activity. If you need an example of the rust community being toxic, I give you https://github.com/actix/actix-web Look up the history and realize they bullied an open source project leader into leaving open source for good.

The problem is, do people know what they are doing? I didn't follow the whole Actix situation carefully, but here is a discussion where someone found of 15 ways to trigger undefined behaviour in safe code, caused by the unsafes in Actix: https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/289#issuecomment-3... Personally, I'd take halving the speed of my project to reduce the possibility of remote security holes. We live in a dangerous world nowadays, and we should take every chance to minimise the risk of serious security issues.

- Actix Web https://github.com/actix/actix-web - Axum https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum (what I'm currently using in production) - Hyper https://github.com/hyperium/hyper Positive experiences mostly. If it builds, it'll usually run with no issues. Ecosystem is mature enough for large production apps.

But what Rust web framework would not have showstopper bugs like this? a) Actix Web https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/2810 https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/2782 https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/2774 b) Rocket https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/1405 c) Warp https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/issues/937 https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/issues/798 d) Tide https://github.com/http-rs/tide/issues/853
