I'm an "older guy" perfectly happy with lynx (included with Slackware)
to explore gopherspace.  If that is not enough, SBo has (f)elinks.

For minimalism, there bitreich.org's sacc 38KB compiled pure C. Don't
even need a slackbuild.

I fail to see the purpose or the reason for the existence of Rust.

(and don't yak at me about "security" since that has always been PEBKAC.
Rusters LOVE to toss around "secure" to justify their existence)
