this new project, spring-rs is a wrapper for various other projects, gluing them together. (and thats totally fine!)

But naming it after the Spring Framework might be slightly exaggerating its ambition.

Even its homepage uses marketing thats not really on point for Spring i think?

i.e. Lightweight: The core code of spring-rs does not exceed 5,000 lines

I dont think anyone can honestly call Spring with its 8 million Lines of Java Code ... lightweight?

This is like the renaming to JavaScript to ride the coattails of Java.

I suppose Spring is still a popular, widely known framework. Other than desired popularity, there's no resemblance and is antithetical. Anything I see associating with Spring, I would assume to be outdated and inefficient.

Spring is a battle tested, robust, optimized framework, that has scaled the largest brands in the world. It is literally what fortune five hundred companies trust their fortunes with. Spring is far from being outdated or inefficient, and will likely continue to dominate the market for years if not decades to come.
