*rubbing eyes* Anyone use "Rocket"?

The worst/most Ruby-like thing about Rocket is when you return a value from a Route function, you just kinda return… whatever datatype you want, and Rocket figures it out.

Unless it doesn't, and you have *no* idea what to return.

For a string, you return a String.

What do I return for bytes? It's not a string, it's a &[u8; 1335895] and it's not valid UTF-8. Do I return a rocket::response::ByteStream? That seems to be the correct answer but doesn't work

$error[E0277]: the trait bound `&[u8; 1335895]: Stream` is not satisfied --> server/src/pages.rs:33:1 | 33 | pub async fn get_wasm_2() -> Result<(ContentType, ByteStream![&'static [u8]]), Status> { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `Stream` is not implemented for `&[u8; 1335895]` |$
