Caddy is cool but it has a separate 33mb executable for each operating system. Redbean is a 128kb executable that runs on all platforms so it has fewer moving parts and is 1584x tinier. All the convenience of being able to "just add your assets to the zip executable" wouldn't have been feasible if we needed to repeat that process n times for each operating system.
Yes of course - like I said, they solve different usecases. Caddy has way, way more features overall to make up for the bigger binary.
Caddy is Go. It has 5mb hello worlds. (Which is fine)
