How many of these support the partial file loading?
I know that Python don’t (I have been working on support for it).
This would make SQLite example supported: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27016630

#12Many of these are so complex you could just say nginx -c <<<(config goes here) is a one liner

#13The ruby one with the -run option is a bit nonintuitive in how it works. $ ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000 The -r option requires un.rb[1] which is a file full of convenience functions, such as httpd in this example. Classic Ruby. Given that go has popularized long args with a single hyphen (-name etc), it is easy to mistake -run as an option by itself. [1] https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/lib/un.rb#L323

Why did they do that?
It took us 20 years to standardize on - for short and -- for long, with occasional finger rage on tar or find, and now this?
What were they thinking?

The XWindow system used -long -opts long before that.

#16Isn't python's server blocking? If you make two requests simultaneously, one of them will have to wait.

The XWindow system is a collection of the worse api in the world so it's no surprise.
But the vast majority of modern command line tools agree on --long.

#18I'm always surprised that nginx doesn't have a nice way to run as a single-liner command.

#19I often use netcat to test stuff locally.
while true; do cat index.html | nc -l 9999 -q 1; echo -e "\n---"; doneRe: Big list of HTTP static server one-liners
#20Is there a way of doing that in a Windows without installing anything?
Windows ships with a web server (IIS), but you need to activate it in Features. Not sure if that counts as installing or not to you.
