## Features
1. Stability focused. All releases target **stable**
[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/). This will never
change. To ensure future compatibility, we also run automated builds against
Rust beta and nightly releases.
1. Statically typed. The Gotham web framework is statically typed ensuring your
application is **correctly expressed** at compile time.
1. Async everything. By leveraging the [Tokio project](https://tokio.rs), all
Gotham web framework types are async out of the box. Our async story is
further enhanced by [Hyper](https://hyper.rs), a fast server that provides
an elegant layer over
[stringly typed HTTP](http://wiki.c2.com/?StringlyTyped).
1. Blazingly fast. Measure completed requests, including the 99th percentile,
in **µs**.

## Alternatives
We hope you'll find the Gotham web framework is flexible enough to meet the
needs of any web application you might like to build. Please
[have a chat with us](https://gitter.im/gotham-rs/gotham) or

isn't the case, perhaps there is something the Gotham web framework can offer
that will help you achieve your goals.
We do acknowledge that sometimes the choices we've made for the Gotham web
framework may not suit the needs of all projects. If that is the case for your
project there are alternative Rust web frameworks you might like to consider:
