- I love it :-)
Back in the distant past I wrote some really big ARM 32 assembly projects. 64 bit ARM is really very similar!
I had a look through the code. Some ENTRY/EXIT macros to help with the drudgery of save restore registers & stack frame would probably help. Also some register renaming would help readability (eg if a register points to incoming data throughout a subroutine rename it pdata).
I salute your effort and please enjoy the core dumps :-)
- Cool. I particularly like the O'Reilly book cover that never was. Although I fear you may have misunderstood what wasm is...
Question/critique. Isn't getting the mime type by file extension a bit windowsy? Would it not be easier to read the magic number when you're at the assembly level?

- > written entirely by-hand in ARM64 assembly as a fun project. It's probably got a lot of vulnerabilities I'm unaware of
Impressive, but that second part worries me. I hope one day AI security scans upon commit (or integrated in the IDE) will alleviate that risk.
What's the current security gold standard for web servers? Hiawatha? https://hiawatha.leisink.net/

- Is an assembly webserver more performant than webservers written in other languages? Are there any hard limits on how much you can squeeze when using a particular framework?
- I love projects like this because I think eventually all common computing tasks will be broken down in constituent most computationally optimized components
- This isn't a bad thing per se. I imagine this could be a thing for an embedded side project or a tiny rescue system.
Edit: or learning arm64 assembly :)

- You wrote this by hand? Impressive.
- "raw syscalls only: no libc wrappers"
insane! i wonder how many times you have spent to learn about them!
- Ahh, this little gem ported to Linux, great! That opens much more possibilities to play with it, thanks
- arm64 is an IP-locked ISA, namely it is not worth assembly writting, stick to plain and simple C.
RISC-V is. I am self-hosting many of my internet thingies. I plan to move to RISC-V only hardware and to rewrite my internet software directly in mono-threaded paranoid RISC-V assembly.

- There's critical security flaws in this web server. Consult your local LLM for a security analysis.
