Hello World in RimStone

In RimStone you write service providers (or request handlers). So Hello World would be one such request handler.

The same code works both as a command-line and a service application in RimStone (including local and web service). You can test and debug your service any way you like, and run it in some other way - this is neat since you have a single code base for all.

Here's a Hello World for each:

The simplest is from the command line. This will take only a minute. Just follow these instructions.
Next is to start a service, which runs in the background. You can then test it from command line. Here's how you do it in two short commands.
Finally, you can use the same service over the web. In this case we're using Nginx, but you can use Apache, HAProxy etc. Here's the hello world on the web.
