That website is also pretty snappy for me as a user, but it could be that it's because each webpage looks like it was hand-written rather than having content slog its way towards the user through a sea of Javascript frameworks.

I wrote a webserver for my own website analytics, running with go on a raspberry pi from an SD card it could handle 5k requests per second.

Modern computers are fast if you don't fill them with shit.

that is so interesting, did you publish the code somewhere?

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago

yeah, they go mention that it's probably because it's just a static website

But why do people want their text editors to do completely unrelated tasks? Genuine question.

Because it's cool and fun.

Why would someone want to build a 3d roller coaster in Excel 2003?

Because it's cool and fun.

(side note: in another video the guy complains he prefers older excel as the can't get good framerates in modern Excel)

Still a limited selection of vim webservers though. Have to bump that library size up.

There are several solutions for running a webserver in Emacs like Elnode from Nic Ferrier, httpd.el from Joe Schafer, simple-httpd from Christopher Wellons or Emacs Web Server from Eric Schulte.

And then there's the browser side!

EWW, the Emacs Web Wowser, is a web browser for GNU Emacs that provides a simple, no-frills experience that focuses on readability.

'eww' for short 😖

[–] nullPointer@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago
