@akjcv@types.pl i jotted down a list of improvements i would make and wow i really need to learn C now because it is lengthy
@akjcv@types.pl might just need to do my own implementation from scratch
@aescling @akjcv@types.pl not too worried about that; the only “library” needed in this case is git
@aescling @akjcv@types.pl cgit just includes git as a subrepo and statically links as far as i can tell
@Lady @akjcv@types.pl networking? XML and/or HTML? really basic data structures?
@aescling @akjcv@types.pl it's a cgi script; you don't have to handle networking yourself aside from routing and content negotiation, which probably needs to be bespoke
for xml, i'll obviously be using libxml2 and libxslt but cgit just does bespoke raw html output so like you can yolo it if you want
if the data structure is really basic, i’m not sure what the benefit is to using a library. basic data structures don’t have high maintenance burdens
@Lady @akjcv@types.pl C itself is pretty simple but figuring out (a) what libraries to use, and (b) how to go about integrating them at build time, not so much
