Coal

Coal is a web server for Ruby applications that is (mostly) written in Rust. I'm too scared to write C and I've heard great things about Rust's memory safety. Coal uses threads to handle requests so you're probably going to hate it.

WTF, are you insane?

I thought it would be a good project to really dig into Rust.

Installation

Installing this is probably going to be bizarre for now. You'll need to create a static library out of the Rust code and then build the C-extension.

Usage

Hopefully you will just need to install it to use it.

TODO

• [ ] Parse HTTP request and implement Rack interface
• [ ] Figure out what happens when you use threads outside of MRI
• [ ] What the heck will a Ruby object look like to Rust?
