I think it would be good to keep the conversation focused on serverstan
Kind of a dumb Q, is there a reason httpstan can’t just be compiled to a binary for linux, mac, and windows? Could httpstan have a grpc interface? Can we ballpark what a binary of httpstan’s performance would be relative to like a full C++ server*?
Besides the above, if all we care about is building a binary the only thing I really care about is who’s gonna build the build and why would it be better than a binary of httpstan (if my above is correct).
*This is another novice Q, but is there really that much to optimize around sending things to a server? It feels like data format for transfers and keeping track of state nicely are going to be the most important in terms of performance and all the server logic is just a fixed overhead
