I haver been looking at Rust as a replacement for a c microserver I made,

I have a thing that listens as root and serves as a user dictated by their id.

so it's

    as root:
       on connect fork:
           forked process:
              read request to determine ID
              drop privileges to UID and GID of ID
              process request

Because of the root component I want it to do as little as possible while being root, which c is good for. but it's also probably riddled with holes, only some of which I am aware.
