And it’s written in Java. Even though I’m not a huge fan of Java, it’s almost refreshing to see a new project claiming high performance that isn’t written in Rust or Go.

Souns too good to be true, there gotta be some catch.

First catch is probably the LoC used to make that engine they’re talking about they wrote it in. You can set up an entire rudimentary webserver in Python in a dozen or so lines by starting off with
import http.server
. It won’t be a good production ready HTTP server but it will serve HTTP

Huh. This looks… very cool. Hopefully, it’s true

They say they they wrote it in 10k lines, while twitter was 1M, but are they including all the packages they’re using (assuming that they are)? Like I can say I built a website with 100 lines, but in reality if you compile all the packages I’m using it’s a shit ton more than that.
Just a lazy thought out loud. Idk I’m probably being dumb
