I wish for this new year we reboot the Web with a super light standard and accompanying ecosystem with

    - A small and efficient JS subset, HTML, CSS
    - A family of very simple browsers that do just that
    - A new Web that adheres to the above

That would make my year.

This would never happen because there's zero incentive to do this.

Browsers are complex because they solve a complex problem: running arbitrary applications in a secure manner across a wide range of platforms. So any "simple" browser you can come up with just won't work in the real world (yes, that means being compatible with websites that normal people use).

Yeah, so there's no way to make a new company? Unless you're directly bought by Atlassian because they are "known enough"?

I don't know Lattice so I would not use it.

There is a way: you have to make something that's better in a meaningful way, so that companies' management would want to SWITCH to it. And your new shiny thing also has to be compatible with all of the integrations, the ecosystem etc. that the current thing has.

I'm not even mentioning trust issues, when sensitive data is involved.

Doing anything less and hoping that companies would use your toy project is just wishful thinking. Sorry to be that guy, but please get real.

> Add a borrow checker to C++ and put rust to bed once and for all

Ah yes, C++ is just one safety feature away from replacing Rust, surely, any moment now. The bizzare world C++ fanboys live in.

Every single person that had been writing C++ for a while and isn't a victim of Stockholm syndrome would be happy when C++ is put to bed once and for all. It's a horrible language only genuinely enjoyed by bad programmers.

"faster than C" almost always boils down to different designs, implementations, algorithms, etc.

Perhaps it is faster than already-existing implementations, sure, but not "faster than C", and it is odd to make such claims.

qweqwe14 · 9 months ago

The fact that it's faster than the C implementation that surely had more time and effort put into it doesn't look good for C here.

It's barely faster. I would say it's more accurate to say it's as fast as C, which is still a great achievement.

qweqwe14 · 9 months ago

"Barely" or not is completely irrelevant. The fact is that it's measurably faster than the C implementation with the more common parameters. So the point that you're trying to make isn't clear tbh.

Also I'm pretty sure that the C implementation had more man hours put into it than the Rust one.

Yes, I know that both Axum and Actix Web exist. However, these are web application frameworks designed for building web applications in Rust. On the other hand, my project is a standalone web server, similar to Apache httpd, NGINX, or Caddy.

While there are standalone web servers in Rust, such as Static Web Server and binserve, they primarily focus on serving static files rather than providing general-purpose web hosting capabilities. My goal is to create a more versatile web server that can handle a wider range of web hosting applications.

What about Cloudflare's pengora?

Have you heard of axum[1] or actix-web[2]? What does this do that existing Rust web servers don't?

I think the "web server" ecosystem in Rust is pretty mature by now, so you should probably state in what way your project is novel on the website.

Edit: OK, I realized that this is supposed to be an nginx/caddy replacement, so a complete, configurable web server/proxy. Maybe check out https://github.com/memorysafety/river or https://github.com/sozu-proxy/sozu
