+Sliderule is the toolkit for working with the small web in Go.
Think of it as a net/http for small web protocols. You still have to write your server, but you can focus on the logic you want to implement knowing the protocol is already dealt with. It's been said of gemini that you can write your server in a day. Now you can write it in well under an hour.

+The router in the sliderule package supports slash-delimited path pattern strings. In the segments of these patterns:
* A "/:wildcard/" segment matches anything in that position, and captures the value as a route parameter. Or if the paramter name is omitted like "/:/", it matches anything in a single segment without capturing a paramter.
* A "/*remainder" segment is only allowed at the end and matches the rest of the path, capturing it into the paramter name. Or again, omitting a parameter name like "/*" simple matches any path suffix.
