Org shortcut

Evaluate the line, apply the config in place

Webserver

Guile

So we need a webserver to display the HTML page. Since I'm keen on trying fancy pancy standard stuff in Webdev, let's do it to with GNU. Let's try and choose a webserver in Guile.

  guix install guile
  guile --version

guile (GNU Guile) 3.0.9

or Rust ?

We're exploring Rust as well, so maybe there is some fancy stuff here as well. I mean while we wait and learn about Guile anyway. Well, there's Rocket for Rust but I guess we can wait.

Nah, let's stick to Esbuild

Because this is what the book is doing and we don't want to waste too much time (it's 9:29pm) and I'm too tired for that.

Set up

Repo

Setting up the project is done via the repo template on github.¹ Let's clone it from gitlab, or gitea ?

Esbuild

Recommended way is via curl, see the install page.

  curl -fsSL https://esbuild.github.io/dl/v0.19.7 | sh

Footnotes

¹Which causes 2 problems:

• It's github
• I want to set up the project from scratch 🤷
