distrochooser-backend

This repository contains an experimental implementation of the distrochooser.de-backend.

Flaws

It is an experiment. It's slow and I do not know Rust at all.

• uses unsafe (is a flaw?)
• no central database connection.. always calling connect_database
• is kinda slow
• throws a lot warnings
• code is not clean
• no error handling, threads crash hard causing HTTP 500
• dirty workarounds

Routes

• /distributions/:lang/
• /distribution/:id/:lang/
• /questions/:lang/
• /i18n/:lang/
• /newvisitor/
• /get/:lang/ (combines /distributions /questions /i18n and /newvisitor)
• /addresult/
• /getstats/
• /lastratings/
• /addrating/@lang

Build
