Web dev in C

Who needs a huge server and scripting environment to run a simple site? Just open a socket, read until the second space, dump the requested file and close the socket.

Just think about all the electricity and time wasted because of wastefully starting Apache, parsing a complex config file each time, sending the script to PHP where it is parsed for the millionth time, generate the output, apply transformations to the headers, sending it out, keeping the socket open just in case there is another request, all for the convenience of not having to compile a script.

I have half a textboard written in C (well, C++, but only for <threads> and std::string, and I planned on removing those later). I got distracted by the SQL needed and the Shiichan compatible BBCode compiler turned out to be a total clusterfuck.

I think I'll start working on it again, actually.
