Apache Pekko

[cheeseng]

Possible to switch from akka to apache pekko?

[peterbanda]

Well, it's possible but it's not a priority now. First we need to abstract out the core WS Request client part and then provide implementations for different Akka versions (as well as different backend systems such as zio). My estimate is June/July this year.

Would love to use this, but I also switched over to Pekko as it's the new default for Play

With the license model of akka I would actually argue that this is quite high prio for a lot of people, even a blocker to use the library

Would you accept a PR migrating to/adding support for Pekko?

[peterbanda]

Update: because of the ws client migration it wouldn't be not too hard to provide an underlying backend implementation in Pekko. @iorins-flextrade take a look at the project https://github.com/cequence-io/ws-client
