Luminus vs Actix

Luminus allows using ClojureScript for client-side development. This allows sharing things like validation logic between the server and the client.

Luminus is built on a stack of composable libraries that can be easily swapped to make the application fit the needs of the user. The applications are generated using Leiningen templates and can be initialized with a specific set of features, such as database connections, needed for a specific application.

Luminus provides step-by-step documentation on how to accomplish common tasks.

Luminus is small and flexible. It's geared towards interactive development using the REPL. You can see your changes as you're working without having to restart the application.

Actix provides a lot of features out of box. WebSockets, HTTP/2, pipelining etc

Forget about stringly typed objects, from request to response, everything has types

Easily create your own libraries that any Actix application can use
