my website that i've barely done anything with uses, uh, nginx, i guess? to serve the pages

i'm thinking of trying out writing a little Rocket server instead, to have a bit more flexibility (and also because i wanna Do Cool Stuff with my site at some point)

@oreolek nothing, other than i like rust and think rocket looks cool and leverages rust features in a neat way

@typhlosion I've felt for a long time that general purpose web servers cause more problems than they solve, overall: they make easy things easy but as soon as you have a little complexity, I feel like a real programming language with some reasonable libraries is easier than any of their horrible configuration languages. so I love this plan 😁
