Background

I needed to make a small web service to update the config file of a load balancer, reverse proxy (Traefik).

I thought about using PHP, but the complexity of deployment and the desire to learn more Rust (especially web/network Rust) pushed to to start with Rust for this small utility.

I pulled down Rocket framework. I looked at Rocket, Actix, and Axum about a year ago and thought positively about how Rocket was organized.

I've had my eye on Zig for a year or so now as a language I'd like to learn. I don't have much use for compiled languages in my normal day-to-day work, so it's challenging to find time to learn new languages.

I remembered that I have an old Python game, Super Cube Slide, that I haven't been able to get building for Windows and have not had great success porting to Python 3.x. After finding a nice SDL wrapper in Zig (https://github.com/MasterQ32/SDL.zig) I thought I'd give a shot at porting to Zig. Hopefully this should let me redistribute binaries to friends and family much easier than setup.py and friends.

A few things about Zig that I noticed right away. There's not much documentation on managing your allocators, and there's no package management system. Lack of package management system kept me away from Go-lang in the early days. In fact, I ported

	install zig

	install libobjc

	get macosX SDK from hexops.

	get SDL2

	mkdir build; cd build;
