Show HN: Minum – A minimal Java web framework

I am happy to announce my minimalist zero-dependency web framework, Minum, is out of beta.

http://github.com/byronka/minum

You will be hard-pressed to find another modern project as obsessively minimalistic. Other frameworks will claim simplicity and minimalism and then, casually, mention they are built on a multitude of libraries. This follows self-imposed constraints, predicated on a belief that smaller and lighter is long-term better.

Caveat emptor: This is a project by and for developers who know and like programming (rather than, let us say, configuring). It is written in Java, and presumes familiarity with the HTTP/HTML paradigm.

Driving paradigms of this project:

* ease of use * maintainability / sustainability * simplicity * performance * good documentation * good testing

It requires Java 21, for its virtual threads (Project Loom)
