Companion crate for extended functionality

Open Sytten opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi there!

I am looking at moving await from actix actors but I manage a somewhat large codebase that I created before I fully understood the async model really well. So I use a lot of "very meh" practices like the actix services which are essentially global actors that auto-(re)start.

I found https://gitlab.com/mneumann_ntecs/xtra-addons, but it looks unmaintained so I was wondering if you would be interested by an "official" companion crate (as in committed to this repo vs a random other repo) to help implement more "advanced" features like a broker, services (basic OTP), etc.

Yes! Extension crates are very much in scope / something we want to encourage.

The latest release focused on minimal building blocks that can be built on top of.

Would you be willing to help maintain them if we add them to this repo?
