This is a challenge where i create the same api with different languages, so i can rank them (subjectively) in terms of difficulty, usefulness and fun factor. I will try to finish in one sitting as fast as possible. If the language is too exotic i won't time it.

The server must:

• Have the following routes
  • /api/auth/register -> {username: string, password: string} -> 200 (409 if err)
  • /api/auth/login -> {username: string, password: string} -> { token: "string" } 200 (401 if err)
  • /api/protected -> Authorization header -> authorized ? {message: "you're in"} : {message: "you're in! just kidding, fuck you!"}
• Have cors enabled (all origins)
• Persist user data (using an orm if possible)
• Use environment variables for secrets
• httpit benchmark results (running release builds if compiled)
• Setup instructions and final considerations on readme

I cant:

• Use youtube (only documentation/articles allowed)
• Ask someone for help
