Project mention: Comparing curl and mit-scheme as projects tells us why the first is successful and the second is not | reddit.com/r/RacketHomeworks | 2022-11-27Someone will say that mit-scheme and the curl project have almost nothing in common. And that's kind of true. And yet, when you look a little closer, you can see that those two projects actually have one thing in common: both projects have only one single person who is the maintainer of the entire project. In the case of the mit-scheme it's Chris Hanson, and in the case of the curl project it's Daniel Stenberg. There is no big (or even small) team in either of these two projects - just one man, each of them is capo di tutti capi in his own project, so to speak.

There was some very excellent work done in Node.js's libuv, but it never got across the line & has sat around getting more out of date for a while.

fasthttp
Fast HTTP package for Go. Tuned for high performance. Zero memory allocations in hot paths. Up to 10x faster than net/http
"You also get to implement stuff like CSRF protection, cookie signing, anti session fixation, etc. You also lose out on community contributions because you are your own community now."
In Go, not necessarily, because net/http actually is what many languages would call a "minimalist framework".
There's a sense in which pretty much everyone here is right. You do need a framework in the general sense; you can't expect to just throw someone a TCP socket and get reasonable work out of them because the web is very complicated nowadays. But the reason why you can "do without a framework" in Go is that it is already a minimal one of its own, and in particular, that "minimality" focuses on providing a mechanism for composing various bits of HTTP code together.
So, do you need CSRF protection? Go grab this: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gorilla/csrf It operates with the integrated net/http Go framework to provide CSRF protection. You are objectively not abandoning the ability to have community-written CSRF protection when you go "frameworkless" in Go. Gorilla in general provides lots of mix-and-match pieces: https://www.gorillatoolkit.org/ , like cookie signing: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gorilla/securecookie
I think calling Go "no framework" is kind of misleading, because I get what you're saying, but the standard library is not the "no framework" option. The "no framework" option is more like using https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp , which is its own server implementation with an incompatible API that does in fact remove you from the community code, other than the code that works only with that server.
Don't over-read my post. I am merely saying that Go essentially ships with a minimal framework and so it is misleading to say or think of it as being "frameworkless", not that it is mandatory to use it and all other things on top of it are a bad idea. There are times and places to want large, preconfigured packages of additional functionality. But if there are times and places where it is not desirable, Go does come with a minimalist option by default. It is a pretty good, not-very-opionated option suitable for a standard library, where development is slow and there's not much room for experimentation in what a "full" web framework should look like.
The standard library minimalist framework even makes the other frameworks pluggable. You can, for instance, write an API website, then realize that if you need a conventional HTML website, you can plug in a framework for that part, but leave the API part as-is, simply by routing the API URLs to the existing API code while routing the HTML website to the http.Handler provided by the framework. Even "not using an additional framework" is not the commitment it may be in other environments, because the net/http foundation is still there.

tokio
A runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. Provides I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, ...
Well, the blog examples are quite trivial.
Take a look at the standard hashmap implementation (https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/collections/hash/map.rs.ht...). Notice the lifetime annotations everywhere. This is a relatively basic data structure, but it has a ton of visual noise due to the constraints of the lifetime and borrow model, and programmers must know, understand and be able to reason about these constraints when using this data structure.
Now imagine a case where you need to operate on values with two (or more) different lifetimes (by definition, all must live at least as long as the one with smallest lifetime, but in practice they all can and will have different lifetimes). Now you have `'a` and `'b` (and perhaps more) everywhere *and* developers must now reason about that. (random example pulled from a popular networking crate: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/blob/718d6ce8cac9f2e081c0a...)
It isn't trivial to pick up from scratch, especially if one comes from a much higher level language (C#, Java, python, etc.). This is true even for people who are very experienced writing high-quality, durable, and safe code in other languages (e.g., C++) without the help of a compiler, because the ownership and lifetime model are both different and compiler-enforced.

That's not true at all. Case in point In general, this is not a problem that AGC can solve. The language can help (something Java is admittedly particularly bad at) but even so, there'll always be avenues for leaks. That's just the nature of shared things. Interestingly, in the linked grpc case, the leaked memory is only half the problem -- AGC doesn't help at all with the leaked HTTP2 connection.

The source code from the project resides in the github, with more than 8.6k stars and 596 forks is a very popular github, but no new releases are made since 2018, looks pure much not maintained anymore, no PR's are accepted no Issues are closed, still without windows or macOS Silicon, or PyPy3 support. Japronto it self uses uvloop with more than 9k stars and 521 forks and different from japronto is seems to be well maintained.
