(I also love have fallen in love w/ how mongrel2 handles websockets. I find it fits very well w/ Rust's message passing between tasks.)
So it's not like writing a webservice in Rust is completely impossible. I will admit that "we aren't web yet," but I'm glad to see the community working on it.
Mongrel2 is a really good way to have all the nitty-gritty of http handled while you worry exclusively about two ZeroMQ sockets (from and to Mongrel2). It makes it a whole lot easier and safer.
Discovery of Rust projects is super hard right now. I'm quite into both REST and Rust and didn't know about your framework :/
Good point! But I'm not sure of any other way to get projects noticed besides word of mouth and posting about them on sites like Hacker news and such. In fact that is where I first heard about rustful.
> didn't know about your framework
My framework is actually at https://github.com/jroweboy/oxidize/tree/incoming (master branch is sorely out of date) and I feel I still have a long way to go before I get that finished :)
