Support for fasthttp #28

Closed codecat closed 2 months ago

codecat commented 2 months ago

It would be great if this supported fasthttp as well. That way we can use it with frameworks such as Fiber.

Sorry, but I've no interest in adding or maintaining support or compatibility with fasthttp. It'd be too much of a hassle to do so, but the main reason why I don't plan to do so is because fasthttp doesn't implement the HTTP protocol properly and is very problematic.

Also, I think it's worth to mention that the main problem fasthttp tries to solve (performance at the router-level) is generally not where the bottleneck of an application lies, and I believe most people using it doesn't take advantage of its purposed advantages.

I read the Reddit thread you linked and I guess the big problem with it is mostly the Go API differences that makes it incompatible with the Go http API.

Unfortunate, but understandable. Thanks for answering 😊
