1. Why might Actix Web frequently appear near the top of cross-language web framework performance benchmarks (like TechEmpower)?
2. What is a general trade-off consideration when writing a Rust web application with Actix Web, compared to a higher-level, more "batteries-included" web framework in another language?
3. Why might structuring a large Actix Web application using "scopes" (grouping related routes under a shared path prefix and middleware) be valuable?
4. Why does Actix Web being built on Rust's async/await (via the Tokio runtime, among the async ecosystem) matter for its performance characteristics?
5. What is a practical implication of Actix Web handlers being `async fn`, requiring an `.await`-based flow for I/O operations like database queries?
6. What does `web::Json<T>` as an extractor do when used as a handler's parameter type?
7. What does `web::Path<T>` extract from an incoming request in Actix Web?
8. What is a reasonable general reason a Rust developer might choose Actix Web specifically among several available Rust web frameworks (Axum, Rocket, etc.)?
9. What is Actix Web middleware typically used for?
10. What is the purpose of `App::new().app_data(web::Data::new(pool))` when configuring an Actix Web application?
11. Why might a team building a performance-critical microservice specifically choose Actix Web over a comparable framework in a garbage-collected language?
12. What is `HttpResponse` used for in an Actix Web handler function?
