lazy-static.rs VS todo-mvp

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.

This post is only concerned with Rust and will use assets identical to the last post. Create a folder called templates at the project's top-level, and place this index.html inside. You will also need to create a directory at src/resource and fill it with these files. There is a stylesheet and a handful of SVG files. Your structure should look like this:

There's a cool project called TODO MVP that showcases the merits of simple, server-side templating for web apps. A nice reminder that not everything needs to be a heavy JavaScript single-page application.
