G-WAN, Another Free Web Server
mssmss writes "Has anyone used G-WAN — a free (as in beer), supposedly fast and scalable Web server? The downside is it supports only C scripts, which the author claims is a plus since most programmers know C anyway. There is currently only a Windows release and no clear answer in their FAQs whether there would be Linux/Solaris releases. As an interesting aside, releasing a Web server while at the same time fighting a losing battle (PDF) with a large bank over a piracy claim of $200 million (the bank is alleged to have done the piracy) is quite a feat."
I am with Linus on this one
Linus is right
The man makes sense
He is absolutely correct on this one
Maybe that's the only thing he felt competent to write?
An operating system or a word processor would be a more complex project than a basic webserver.
In the immortal words of whatzisname: if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friend!
Um, no, you're wrong. There's plenty of scripting languages (perl.org php.net and python.org , if you want info on just a few), and even for web frameworks, you've got stuff like apache as an alternative.
No matter what history says, I don't think there's as much on the author's side as you think.
Alternatives are great!!!!
