alt Hacker NewsI don't take offense from differences in design opinion. The goal of topcoat is to be opinionated and not make everyone happy. And JS libs are a heavy inspiration. They do a lot right and have years of experience in the browser-app space. If you don't like it, Axum aims to be the lower-level HTTP router that anyone can build their own abstractions on top of.
That said, if you are up to it, I would ask that you try using it and provide your thoughts after using it as an issue. Feedback is appreciated.
Thank you. I hope I didn't offend you. First, I think the len() part is problematic. Could you check that for me? I think it's calling Rust's str::len() and using JS's String.length, which I think should be aligned with UTF-8.
I'll try it out next time and give feedback later. And you're right, it's just a difference of opinion.
Also, for the API side, Unicode strings are usually 4 kinds right? I think using Rust-style snake_case, we might need separate functions like len(), utf16_len(), and so on. But I'm not sure how to handle the abstraction between libraries and browsers.
Sorry for being critical. I'm not that good of a programmer, so it might be a mistaken observation. Please check it.
