Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.

Fefe uses a LDAP server as backend, not Apache

He uses his own http server called gatling and an LDAP server instead of a database.

There are a lot of solutions like that in rust. You basically compile the template into your code.

yeah, templates can be parsed at compile time but these frameworks are not embeeding whole fucking prerendered static pages/assets

Compiling all assets into the binary is trivial in rust. When I have a small web server that generates everything in code I usually compile the favicon into the binary.
