lazy-static.rs VS hyper

Normally lazy_static allows to have "const" code that cant be const https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/lazy-static.rs

It's an additional crate, but you could try using lazy-static or once-cell and wrap the global value in a RwLock.

lazy_static : A macro for declaring lazily evaluated statics in Rust.

Without understanding the implementation details of lazy_static I figured it would be easier to benchmark it than to dig through its source code.

The templates need to be compiled before use, but this only needs to happen once. We can use lazy_static to ensure this compilation happens the first time the templates are accessed, and then reuse the compiled result for all subsequent access:

Now, the readme examples are tested like everything else.

What's an example of this for, say, libcurl? On my system it has a tiny number of recursive dependencies, around a dozen. [0] Furthermore if I want to write a C program that uses libcurl I have to download zero bytes of data ... because it's a shared library that is already installed on my system, since so many programs already use it.

I don't really know the appropriate comparison for Rust. reqwest seems roughly comparable, but it's an HTTP client library, and not a general purpose network client like curl. Obviously curl can do a lot more. Even the list of direct dependencies for reqwest is quite long [1], and it's built on top of another http library [2] that has its own long list of dependencies, a list that includes tokio, no small library itself.

In terms of final binary size, the installed size of the curl package on my system, which includes both the command line tool and development dependencies for libcurl, is 1875.03 KiB.

[0] I'm excluding the dependency on the ca-certificates package, since this only provides the certificate chain for TLS and lots of programs rely on it.

Using Rust here was immensely helpful, using libraries made by the community like https://github.com/hyperium/hyper really powered up the development of Signway, so glad to see this kind of awesome crates made public. Hope that it continues to be like that despite the current controversies.

- Discord sends a slightly weird request by specifying content length (a bug in hyper we've not yet upgraded to fix, https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/commit/fb90d30c02d8f7cdc9a643597d5c4ca7a123f3dd)
