Hi everyone. I wrote this describing how I like putting more than one thing/service into my final Rust binaries (when applicable, e.g. smaller projects).
When people ask me what I like about Rust, I mention that you can do something like this, so I thought I'd write a post to illustrate it.
I especially think the frontend build embedding and TLS management are neat tricks.
