&gt; C isn&#x27;t a terrible language to write a web framework in.<p>Hey, I wrote my first CGI script in Pascal, so I know it&#x27;s not impossible.  And nothing I&#x27;ve written since then has been so fast.  ;-)<p>But so much stuff like GZIP delivery, POST parsing, cookies, etc will require you to write <i>enormous</i> functions, with countless &quot;gotcha&quot; edge cases, just to reinvent the wheel.<p>Using it in production for anything complex (like a web store selling digital downloads), is just nuts.
