This is not merged, is there any problem?

This is not merged, is there any problem?

Initially it had failing CI jobs.

After reviewing it, I think that it should stay in its own repository - https://github.com/enghitalo/vanilla_http_server . The instructions in the PR are already written with that repository in mind.

We've had some issues with picoev + veb lately. I think this is a great alternative in pure V + it supports multithreading. I think it should not only be included into the examples directory, but it should become the web server Veb uses.

[spytheman]

I think, that we already do have several platform independent web servers in vlib - vweb, veb, which currently use picoev as infrastructure, and the pure V one in vlib/net/http/server.v, available through v -http.

I think, that this new one, should not be in vlib, even if it is good as a standalone project.

However, if you do want to merge it in vlib/, @medvednikov, then go ahead, or at least provide the instructions needed for integration, instead of letting it sit here in limbo.
