Show HN: Building a web server in assembly to give my life (a lack of) meaning | Hacker News

A developer introduced ymawky, a macOS static-file web server written entirely in ARM64 assembly.

Despite being low-level, it supports common HTTP methods, percent-encoded URLs, byte-range requests, directory listings, and custom error pages.

It also enforces the document root and includes basic protections against slowloris-style attacks.

The project highlights how a highly optimized server can still offer practical web-server features from scratch.
