I've been working on a toy Lispy language and self-hosting compiler that targets JS. My goal is to explore building a full-stack web framework with a template compiler similar to Svelte that runs minimal JS on the frontend.

The Bible.

Mysterious Island (1874), Around the World in Eighty Days (1873), and other books by Jules Verne.

Books by James Fenimore Cooper.

The Sea-Wolf (1904) by Jack London.

The Count of Monte Cristo (1844) by Alexandre Dumas.

Oliver Twist (1839) by Charles Dickens.

We share some favorites.

20000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne was my introduction to science fiction and I also enjoyed Mysterious Island (which overlaps, but is less science fiction).

I had forgotten James Fenimore Cooper, and I have forgotten almost everything about the books, but yes, these were in the school library too and I read them.

(we had no TV when I grew up so I read a lot, mostly books in the styles mentioned above but also historical books and fiction from the WWII, but obviously none of these are over 100 years old.)

Also the Bible, it might not be highly regarded here, and I'm obviously biased, but as someone who reads other texts as well I think a number of people here could find parts of it interesting, especially contrasting it to what school and others might have told you. (Spoiler: besides the endless listings of who was who that most people will learn to skip, the full version is also a lot messier than what anyone working in school or wanting your money will tell you ; )

Yes, unfortunately reqwest pulls in lots of dependencies, but I think you should be able to get a binary under 10MB if you compile in release mode using the --release flag.

Same here, Firefox 66 on Arch Linux.

What couchand said still applies to 1.0. So this should work:

    use actix_web::{web, App, HttpServer, HttpRequest, Responder};

   fn index(req: HttpRequest, info: web::Path<(u32, String)>) -> impl Responder {
       format!("[{}] Hello {}! id:{}", req.method(), info.1, info.0)
   }

Great to see actix-web reach 1.0. I've played with Rocket in the past and liked it, but ended up choosing actix-web recently for a production project because I don't want to rely on a nightly compiler for a production project. I'm only using actix-web in a small portion of a larger Rust project, but so far my experience with it has been quite pleasant.

First time I even tried to use Rocket, I couldn't get there Hello World thing compiled. I honestly don't know if it was my error or a nightly compiler incompatibility and that sucked.

For anyone looking for a hosted solution, https://surge.sh/ is super nice and simple without any of the complexity of managing the stack yourself. Deploying uses one simple command, and you get hosting and custom domains for free, though I believe SSL is paid for custom domains. (I'm not affiliated with Surge at all, just a happy user.)

I was actually wondering that myself: Is there interest in a hosted service? It'd be quite similar to (as many comments have suggested) Netlify and the one you linked to.

I was mostly going for a DIY solution since I wanted to "own" the bits being deployed while remaining as close to the infrastructure as possible. Providing a hosted service somewhat moves away from the DIY spirit; I suppose additional tools/UIs could be offered to simplify setup and deployment and still run everything directly on AWS, but at that point one might be inclined to just move to one of the other hosted solutions for the simplicity.

Looks like the last item in the all-files array is an empty string - maybe that's why? Either that, or the current directory (".") might be included as the first element.

If . was included then .. almost certainly would be as well. But an empty string at the end like you say and as explained by the sibling comment makes sense.

It appears to be running under the Android emulation layer:

This looks great! I've been using Yoga in my Rust UI framework via the yoga-rs bindings, and this looks like a nice pure-rust alternative to try using instead.

I'm the author of both Yoga and Stretch :) After leaving Facebook I created Stretch to fix some core issues which would be hard to address in Yoga, mainly some web compatibility issues. Would love to know more about what you are building and let me know if I can help in any way with the migration! Adding any missing APIs etc should be very easy.

my email is in profile if you want to chat :)

I'm guessing one of those "Yoga"s in the second sentence should be "Stretch"?

haha yes. Edited

As the author of the bindings, I'm happy for Stretch to exist :)

All I wanted was a flexbox engine in Rust, and it's great to now have a pure Rust solution!
