> Seems everyone believes there is large team behind actix with unlimited time and budget. (Btw thanks to everyone who provided prs and other help!) For example, async/await took three weeks 12 hours/day work stint, quite exhausting, and what happened after release, I started to receive complaints that docs are not updated and i have to go fix my shit.

I think your quoted comment just proves the point. Without community complaint / critical response, there isn’t incentive for the implementer to do the thing the community needs.

If you do X for enjoyment and it actively hinders some other group because they needed Y and using personal priorities to rank addressing X instead of Y is an egregious violation of community norms, people will take action to bring down the enjoyability of doing X and raise the enjoyability of doing Y, like complaining about X and thanking you for Y.
