i like to work with fastapi. “FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python based on standard Python type hints.”. i also know that scripting languages like python are ways slower than compiled languages like c, c++, rust, …
why not build a little “hello world” api, running it on localhost, and then do a benchmark …
let’s start with rust.
src/main.rs
… will be released next week (23. Oct 2023). Why not have a look at the upcomming OS and prepare a VM for Software Development ?
grab a fresh VM and Install OpenBSD 7.4

did you ever heared of Jetporch, short Jet ? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one ;) Jet Project of Jet is being led by Michael DeHaan, the original creator of Ansible. So, expect something like Ansible, faster, written in rust … same same, but different.
grab a fresh machine and patch it
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -yq
apt-get dist-upgrade -yq
apt-get autoremove -y
jet needs rustc 1.64. Debian install 1.63 from packages :(
