An attempt to implement the HTTP specification from scratch in Rust aims for a dependency-free web framework.
Implementing the HTTP spec from scratch is a significant engineering effort that touches on parsing, protocol semantics, and network I/O. A dependency-free framework could reduce supply chain risk and binary size, but this is a single personal announcement with no code or details, so its practical impact is unknown.
