Greetings! I'm very excited about the Gemini project. Kudos to all the
contributors.

I wrote a basic Gemini server in Rust. It's called Agate. You can find its
home page here (self-hosting, of course):

gemini://gem.limpet.net/agate/

All it does at the moment is serve static text files. It doesn't have a lot
to distinguish it from other Gemini servers, though it does use async I/O
to handle concurrent requests with very low resource use. It could be good
for hosting a static site on low-powered hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
Mostly, it's just meant to be simple and bare-bones. For the curious, you
can find the source code here:

https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate

I hope to write a client also, as soon as I have the time.

Update: With the help of Michael Lazar?s jetforce_diagnostics.py script
[1], I have published Agate 1.0.1 [2] with several error handling
improvements. It should now use more accurate error codes, and gracefully
handle more types of requests, although it is still not perfect. Thank you
for this test suite!

I've left a github ticket on jetforce requesting that this script be made 
a separate project, as a potential basis for a general conformance testing 
suite for all Gemini server implementations.
