I think that URL gets served by the same single binary. Might look like multiple files and connections to you ...

[chefandy]

Maybe. Seems odd that they'd use a vestigial 'static' directory in the request path, though. I didn't read it because the layout makes it useless on mobile browsers, but I have a feeling they mean that the whole site is coded into one binary like a self-contained ssg rather than the site only requiring one file to work.

The static files are probably a directory embedded into the binary with Go's embed package, and mounted on /static.

But why? Why not serve all needed content inline?

[Aeolun]

Because that means every page request downloads all the static content. It’s generally nice for people if they only have to download the shared assets once.

Sometimes browser caching and ease of development is the reason here.
