    Created a Node.js's addon that can handle 1M req/s▲7

    I’ve been experimenting with building a Node.js HTTP framework using Rust + Hyper with N-Api. The project started as a fully synchronous server, but I recently patched it to support async (Tokio/Hyper). That change alone nearly doubled throughput in benchmarks. What’s different: * Built directly on Hyper, no heavy abstraction * napi glue for Node.js bindings * Minimal core (sync and async engines side-by-side) * Focused on raw performance, not plugins (yet) This is still experimental and not production-ready. I’d like feedback on: * Async API design — does it feel ergonomic? *…

    An async traceroute(1) implementation in Rust▲9

    I wrote a minimal traceroute(1) clone that leans on asynchrony to reduce the time spent tracing a route. Underneath, it uses ICMP to do its job. The plan is to add support for UDP tracing and a path maximum transmission unit discovery mechanism. Comments and suggestions are welcome!
