• went full circle through the last 20 years of the web's problems
• debated using vanilla tcp sockets but realised would be very time consuming
• Struggled a lot with google/tarpc found the documentation absolutely mad, macros perform most of the functionality couldn't find any way to keep server running, client stub appears to direcly rely on the server structs needed a specific version of the rust nightly from several months ago to compile
• found wa-rs, hope was restored, had a websocket server up and running in seconds
• lost hope again when its client doesn't compile into wasm due to unix dependencies in mio this also prevents any tokio based futures client from working
• realised i'd been reading very out of date documentation and there was plenty of work happening on stdweb and cargo web
