    Nice work! Just looking through the Eio code, you may want to use the capability restrictions more. For example, in the static file serving code, you can use `Eio.Path.open_subtree` which will use Linux fd sandboxing to prevent accidental symlink escapes or other ways to leave that subtree: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocaml-multicore.github.io&#x2F;eio&#x2F;eio&#x2F;Eio&#x2F;Path&#x2F;index.html#val-open_subtree" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocaml-multicore.github.io&#x2F;eio&#x2F;eio&#x2F;Eio&#x2F;Path&#x2F;index.htm...</a>

    Will keep an eye on this project, love me some Ocaml! Do you have an example of it deployed and in use?<p>Don’t like the “fresh off the AI block” feeling of the website but could be a bit more confident if I could see it used in the actual wild!

    Cool to see some Lisp in this OCaml project:<p><i>Add to your bin&#x2F;dune:<p><pre><code> (executable (name main) (libraries spindle eio_main) (preprocess (pps ppx_wiretype)))**</code></pre></i>

      These are S-expressions, not Lisp. It&#x27;s part of dune, which is the build system for ~40% of OPAM packages.

        Dune is an unholy combination of bash and Lisp, according to its author - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;adam-mcdaniel.github.io&#x2F;dune-website&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;adam-mcdaniel.github.io&#x2F;dune-website&#x2F;</a>
