Hi all,

It's an exciting time for Akka with the imminent release of akka-http (as 
announced 
in 2013 in this thread 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/akka-user/Akka-HTTP/akka-user/sMB8tjYPOLA/ywU2G9baqwgJ>
 
and more recently reaffirmed in this other thread 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/akka-user/Akka-HTTP/akka-user/bIdV9HlUHkg/R_zeAOZFdI4J>)!
 
If I'm not mistaken, that would be the latest milestone:

https://github.com/akka/akka/tree/releasing-akka-stream-and-http-experimental-1.0-M2

That's awesome news... but this kind of transition always pose a challenge 
on new projects: should one use the new (experimental) milestone release or 
stick to the original components for a few months and then have to go 
through a migration (that can potentially impact system design) on a 
"newborn"? Or go the other way around and risk using something that's not 
stable?

I realise there's no easy answer besides the standard "only use stable 
releases for production". But on the other hand, how far are we from a 
production release of akka-http? How stable is the milestone 2? How painful 
will be the migration from software based on current spray.io to the new 
aka-http?

So, what have you guys been doing when confronted with these choices? Has 
anyone evaluated these 2 systems recently?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Cheers, Richard
