Best I can tell the domain was picked up by some SEO scam. I'm guessing the way it works is they republish all the old content to keep the domain's reputation and then added a bunch of links to their sites to try to boost those site's reputation.
Rust is trying to solve a really important problem, and so far it might well be one of the best solutions we have for it in a general sense. I 100% support its use in as many places as possible, so that it can evolve. However, its evolution seems to be thwarted by a very vocal subset of its leadership and community who have made it a part of their identity and whatever socio-political leverage toolset they use.
Just for my own curiosity, do you have an examples of suggestions for how to improve the syntax that have been brought up and dismissed by the language maintainers?
This one simple thing is the only thing that makes my SteamDeck+Dock feel like a second class console. So far they only claim it's for the Steam Controller, but I'd be great if it worked with the handful of 8bitdo or Switch controllers I've been using.
Edit: Now that I think about it, this might have been a feature added to the OLED model.
I'm not sure I would have actually started building this if I knew that was an option. Hopefully their existence is telling me "there's a market, go for it" and not "there's already a better alternative, don't do it", heh. Though their pricing tiers really tells me I need to optimize my sandboxing. I don't think I can match those request limits at those prices just from the CPU cost of my per-request sandboxing overhead.
I'm calling it a "Micro Functions as a Service" platform.
What it really is, is hosted Lua scripts that run in response to incoming HTTP requests to static URLs.
It's basically my version of the old https://webscript.io/ (that site is mostly the same as it was as long as you ignore the added SEO spam on the homepage). I used to subscribe to webscript and I'd been constantly missing it since it went away years ago, so I made my own.
I mostly just made this for myself, but since I'd put so much effort into it, I figure I'm going to try to put it out there and see if anyone wants to pay me to use it. Turns out there's a _lot_ of work that goes into abuse prevention when you're code from literally anyone on the internet, so it's not ready to actually take signups yet. But, there is a demo on the homepage.
Coincidentally, I'm currently working on supporting luarocks packages. (Well, some of them, I want to at least support the ones that are pure lua or use the "builtin" build system (which means they don't have any native dependencies).)
