Rust is a hard way to make a web API

  Discontinued User authentication/sessions/etc for Actix-Web. More of a sample project than a crate, but probably useful to some people. (by ryanmcgrath)

  I've actually "ported" Django's auth system (including their email verification pieces) to actix-web, and reused it across a few projects. I've thought about open sourcing it, but the problem is... well, then you have to maintain it, and I'm not really interested in doing that.

  But if someone wants to take up the project I don't mind donating the code.

  If anyone ever saw my version years ago[1], it's effectively Jelly 2.0.

  Express JS is still shit, koajs and fastify are a little better, I used to use nodejs's internal http and https libraries directly but these days uwebsockets.js is what you'd want since it's mature enough already (used by top crypto exchanges).

  And oh it comes with TS types which are cool.

  > Setters and getters are only popular in Java EE/Spring based environments (and it can be easily useful).

  I'd love to see stats on how common this stuff is amongst java programmers. I agree that modern java has lots of modern tools to write reasonable code - like closures and functional primitives. But its very normal amongst a lot of java programmers to never use that stuff. I believe you if you tell me your team uses a modern, nice subset of java. But believe me when I say lots of people out there don't.

  I worked as a professional interviewer for a year or so recently and interviewed 400+ programming candidates. One of the tasks was a 30 minute coding challenge - using the candidate's own computer and preferred language. A huge percentage of the java programmers, even under explicit time pressure, wasted time adding needless junk (like getters and setters or extraneous, pointless classes) to their code. I think I only saw 1 or 2 java candidates use any of java's functional programming primitives (like map) to keep their code terse and clean.

  Is that the fault of java, the language? I don't know. As I said in another comment I think the problem is cultural. I don't really have a problem with java-the-language. But a large part of java-the-community seems blissfully content with mediocrity. I took java off my resume years ago because I don't want that kind of coworker.

  > How do you write code, are you copying something by typing?

  I don't copy+paste because in the languages I use I don't need to. Thats what the compiler is for.

  > I’m sorry to assume it, but I think you only know about java development from third-hand infos and it has nothing to do with reality.

  Nope. Eg:

  > I have a similarly bad opinion on the average JavaScript developer

  I write a lot of javascript for a living, and you're not wrong[1]. I think the struggle javascript has is that an extremely high percentage of javascript programmers are pretty new to programming in general. So there's an awful lot of javascript code written by unsteady hands.

  If javascript is a magnet for novices, java feels like a magnet language for middle aged with kids "programming is just a job for me" indifference. I feel contempt for that mindset - but to respond in kind to your apology, I think the contempt I feel is probably reflected fear / disgust at the idea of settling. To me programming still feels like casting magic spells. I think I'm terrified of that spark some day being extinguished.

  The younger kids are saying: "Meh, we'll just run NodeJS on the server, so we can ignore the J2EE mess the previous generation created since they're older and therefore dumber than us."
