Django Channels vs Actix: What are the differences?

Developers describe Django Channels as "It extends Django's abilities beyond HTTP - to handle WebSockets, chat protocols, IoT protocols". It does this by taking the core of Django and adding a fully asynchronous layer underneath, running Django itself in a synchronous mode but handling connections and sockets asynchronously, and giving you the choice to write in either style. On the other hand, Actix is detailed as "An actor system and web framework for Rust". It web is a simple, pragmatic and extremely fast web framework for Rust. Actors are objects which encapsulate state and behavior, they communicate exclusively by exchanging messages.

Django Channels and Actix can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Django Channels and Actix are both open source tools. It seems that Django Channels with 3.96K GitHub stars and 549 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Actix with 3.3K GitHub stars and 216 GitHub forks.
