This English as second language README being not written by LLM -- despite the emojis which the LLMs had to learn from somewhere -- is refreshing.

The licence terms / variation on MIT is interesting - unless this file is part of some standard I'm unaware of I'd expect it still shows as plain MIT for most automated SBOM collection/licence checks which feels problematic.

Ouch, why even involve the MIT license if you're gonna do custom terms anyways? Just put "Copyright me" and be done with it instead of ending up with some weird half and half solution. Net effect ends up the same anyways.

Yeah, that kills adoption by most people I'd imagine. Non-standard license terms are always a huge red flag IMO, regardless of actual license terms.

We use httpmock [1] for lychee, and it works quite well. Haven't looked too closely at the differences yet.

Why wouldn't we? It's a fantastic language with great tooling, top tier performance and minimal footprint

That's neat. Just sucks that Rust proponents apparently tried to assassinate Rust critic Rene Rebe through swatting.

Vile, wretched and despicable Rust proponents will censor and downplay this.

Rust + Axum + SQLx has been a total game-changer for me in terms of productivity developing web-based Postgres apps. I like the tooling and the libraries are great.

Feels like a Wiremock for Rust.
