Implementing the pronouns service in Rust and Axum

In this stream I implemented the pronouns service and deployed it to the cloud with fly.io. This was mostly writing a bunch of data files with Dhall and then writing a simple Rust program to query that 'database' and then show results based on the results of those queries.

This stream covers the following topics:

• Starting a new Rust project from scratch with Nix flakes, Axum, and Maud
• API design for human and machine-paresable outputs
• DevOps deployment to the cloud via fly.io
• Writing Terraform code for the pronouns service
• Building Docker images with Nix flakes and pkgs.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage
• Writing API documentation
• Writing the writeup on the service
