Is the Singleton accessed by one thread or many?

If it’s one thread, couldn’t you just wrap the Vec in an Rc and then clone your singleton every time you need it in a new scope?

If it’s many, you should use channels and a dedicated logging thread imo.

Didn’t know about that one, thanks!

If you want to accept a user input of any length, you have to read the input piece by piece and allocate a new buffer if the original becomes full. Basic steps would be:

1. Use malloc to make a char * buffer
2. Read one character at a time in a while loop, keep track of your position in the buffer
3. If you get an EOF character, add a \0 to your buffer and break the loop. You’re done!
4. If the position is greater than the length, allocate a new buffer that has twice the length. Use memcpy to copy the stuff from the old buffer to the new one. Use free to get rid of the old buffer.

This will work until you fill the entire memory of your computer. You should probably set a max length and print an error if it is reached.

The point of the post is to introduce you to async Rust libraries, not to prove that Rust is the best language for web dev.

But actually I’m afraid most of your comment is incorrect because the best language for web development is sml.
