Ripress

An express inspired rust based web framework

NOTE: This still is an experiment don't think i will be able to complete it

What am i making

• So it's basically an http server
• Written in rust
• Inspired by express
• First throwaway version will be built on top of actix web and then will see

What are my goals for the project

• I want the end user experience to be simple and intuitive like in express
• I don't care much about performance in the starting as no matter how shitty my code will be it will be faster than actual express in typescript so, yeah

What will the throwaway version have

• Only focused on routing different types of requests no middleware support
