2 years ago Do you have the installation log? It is expected to build in much less than 45 minutes, unless installation process is also building Rust compiler and LLVM.
I also remember brew having some option to have pre-built executables downloaded? Is it gone?
Note that you can also manually install executable that I cross-compiled on my own device, although M1 version is currently not available using this method.

2 years ago Simple ? what's simple about implementing an entire HTTP server ?
Did you ever read the RFC ? https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455.html
C++ would require fucking Boost to implement that, I doubt it would be simpler. (they see me playing with cmakefiles, they hatin)
Comparing the amount of files needed to implement a similar thing in go rust https://github.com/vi/websocat/tree/master/src go https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd/tree/master/libwebsocketd
Go uses more third party libraries, specially, a full CGI HTTP server, while this library implements it on its own it seems. This code looks better, I'm sold. Rust it is !
Tried to install it 3 times. It never finished after waiting more than 45 minutes.
Why so many dependencies for such a simple utility?
Why write a general utility in a language that is unlikely to be installed on anyone's machine. I think you would get wider adoption if you programmed it in C/C++.
Unfortunately, my need is urgent so I am going to move on to another solution. This would be a very useful utility if not for the heavyweight dependencies which make the installation fragile and slow.
