       Show HN: An extensible pub/sub messaging server for edge
       applications
        
       hi there! i've been working on a project called Narwhal, and I
       wanted to share it with the community to get some valuable
       feedback.  what is it? Narwhal is a lightweight Pub/Sub server and
       protocol designed specifically for edge applications. while there
       are great tools out there like NATS or MQTT, i wanted to build
       something that prioritizes customization and extensibility. my goal
       was to create a system where developers can easily adapt the
       routing logic or message handling pipeline to fit specific edge use
       cases, without fighting the server's defaults.  why Rust? i chose
       Rust because i needed a low memory footprint to run efficiently on
       edge devices (like Raspberry Pis or small gateways), and also
       because I have a personal vendetta against Garbage Collection
       pauses. :)  current status: it is currently in Alpha. it works for
       basic pub/sub patterns, but I'd like to start working on
       persistence support soon (so messages survive restarts or network
       partitions).  i'd love for you to take a look at the code! i'm
       particularly interested in all kind of feedback regarding any
       improvements i may have overlooked.
