SlimeWeb --New Python WebFramework backed by rust

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with building a small web framework that combines Python’s simplicity with Rust’s performance.

The idea is pretty straightforward

Use rust for networking to handle request
Use python for business logic

Why this project?:
Frameworks like Flask and FastAPI are awesome, but I was curious about Python web frameworks' request-handling limits. Benchmarks on my machine showed pretty low numbers, so I thought, what if we offload the networking part to Rust and focus purely on business logic?. Introducing SlimeWeb. Its still early stage and experimenting but works.

Some of the things its currently supports:

Python handler functions
Rust powered HTTP server
Multiple worker pool model
Sync & Async handler
Multipart form support
File uploads
Streaming Response
Cookie signing
Custom headers
JSON / HTML / Raw Response
Templates rendering with context
Static serving
Hot reload
WebSocket
App state
Compression
Middleware plugin
Generate swagger docs
Dynamic body read size constraint

Sample Code:

from slimeweb import Slime

app = Slime(__file__)

@app.route(path="/", method="GET")
def home(req, resp):
    return resp.plain("Hello World from slime")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.serve(dev=True)

The project is aimed at developers who wants to build APi's/backend services. who wanna use the power of rust networking.

In Microbenchmark for sync handlers ive tested on linux with 8cpu cores with same python runtime and 8worker using wrk. It beat both flask and fastapi.

Pypi: SlimeWeb Package (pip install SlimeWeb) & docs

Any suggestions, criticism, or feedback would really help.

Cmd is so annoying, so i made a new shell

Using cmd in window's for navigating in the project is so annoying, like using doskey and registry for navigating to a custom dir path and if we want to navigate to the nth parent dir in our path, we have to use cd .. for n times.

So i thought "OK, It's time to build a new shell". The main goal of this project is to overcome some of my problems faced while using window's cmd and have some fun.

First i thought of creating a GUI application with stunning UI. But i convinced myself to build a super simple console application which consume less memory and execute faster, so i opened my editor and started to write it in c++. It took me over 2 days(like 4+ hours) to build this project.

After two weeks, I thought of adding some more features(commands), so i rewrote the entire application again in golang.
