The first one I ever saw was iron (https://github.com/iron/iron https://github.com/iron/iron) -- weirdly enough, it's not on the list @ https://crates.io/categories/web-programming::http-server https://crates.io/categories/web-programming::http-server. I wouldn't think that web frameworks were the reason -- at this point, almost all the frameworks that aren't django/rails size are the same, set up a route, add a handler, do whatever you need to in the handler, start the server. python's flask/ruby's sinatra/go's http.server/rust's iron/haskell's servant/clojure's ring are all the same to me at this point, and generally what I'm comfortable starting with (I pick those micro-frameworks over 'batteries-included' django/rails)
