Great project, I have been watching another similar project pretty closely: https://github.com/h2o/h2o

I've always wondered, how many man hours does writing a small web server like that take?

h2o is cool too, I contributed to that project early this year for their OpenSSL/DHE parameter settings.

Re: How much time, hard to say from my perspective since a fair amount of rwasa's functionality resides in the library itself. Start to finish for all of the showcase pieces and the library (from 0 lines of code to release) took 13 months of my life :-)

Thanks for sharing! Is there a repository I can subscribe to somewhere? I'd like to watch this project's development.

I also want to add I love the documentation.

I almost downvoted you by accident. Thankfully when I reloaded the arrows were still there. I reply think this "arrows to small" problem needs to be fixed. Although the refrain seems to be that it is not a problem: the community would vote such accidental downvotes back up

They should just put one arrow to the left and the other to the right of the name.

Indeed, I think this should really be benchmarked against the other new experimental web servers: H2O and lwan.
