4 things writing an HTTP prober in Rust taught me
I built an uptime checker in Rust. Like most people, I used reqwest first. Then I dropped it and moved down to raw hyper.

We found a bug in the hyper HTTP library
> The failure was caused by a timing-dependent race condition in hyper’s HTTP/1 connection handling. When the reader was slower and the socket buffer filled, poll_flush returned Poll::Pending, but the dispatch loop discarded that result. Hyper then treated the response as complete and shut down the socket while data remained buffered internally, causing the client to receive an EOF before the full body arrived.

Introducing LlamaStash: a zero-overhead, terminal-native llama.cpp launcher
Building LlamaStash brought me back to a lot of that, but the ground has shifted. ratatui (the maintained fork of tui-rs) is a real, polished framework now. tokio makes async daemons boring in a good way. hyper gives you a respectable HTTP server in a few hundred lines. crossterm handles the cross-platform terminal mess. sysinfo covers host metrics. The pieces are all there and you have LLMs to help you speed up everything to 10x.

Deep Atlantic Storage: Rewriting in Rust
I spent the third day researching HTTP server crates. I initially used hyper but was very confused on its body concept and had great difficulty writing a test case. Then I switched to axum, which seems to have more natural APIs similar to what I used in Go, Node.js, and Arduino.

Exploring the top Rust web frameworks
Gotham is a flexible web framework built for stable Rust that promotes “stability, safety, security, and speed.” It provides async support with the help of Tokio and hyper out of the box.

Rusty Backends
In particular the last point is what sets axum apart from other frameworks axum doesn't have its own middleware system but instead uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic.

Ropey – A UTF8 text rope for manipulating and editing large texts. in Rust
The bytes crate does support what ComputerGuru asked for via the Buf trait. The trait can be implemented over a sequence of buffers but still provides functions that are common with single buffers. In fact the hyper crate uses the trait in exactly this way - it has an internal type that is a VecDeque of chunks but also implements the Buf trait.

Curl removes experimental HTTP back end in Rust
> While not really the target audience for either language, I would prefer zig's crashing behavior to hyper using unsafe evaluations of macros as an example.
> https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/blob/30f2961e89eb306780d85...
This looks basically like a port of something like Kotlin or C#'s ?. operator - the macro checks whether the pointer is null, returns err if it is, and dereferences the pointer otherwise. The part highlighted in the link looks like it's part of the macro implementation - there don't seem to be any "direct" uses of that particular rule in calling code and it's only invoked via the other rules in that macro definition. I think that should make that bit null-safe at least.
Lifetime safety might be a bit trickier, especially since that bit is part of hyper's C API so idk if there's anything Rust (or Zig, for that matter) could do to ensure the pointer is still valid when dereferenced.

Writing Secure Go Code
I'd point out that one advantage Go has over Rust in terms of security are the coverage of standard libraries. Go has great support for HTTP clients/servers, cryptography primitives, SSH, SQL, JSON, secure RNG, etc. all in officially maintained standard libraries. The Rust ecosystem has some standards here but the most widely used HTTP client, just as an example, is mostly maintained by one guy[1]. I think that adds considerable security risk vs Go's net/http.
