Re: [users@httpd] Serving dynamic pages with C

[Joshua Kogut <jmkogut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also, what advantages over perl, php, heck, even asp does C have? Many
of these server-side languages have syntax that is closely related to
C. There's a better way to do this, and you would be saving yourself
alot of time and effort.

Keep in mind that you can use 'C' (as in C language, I suppose you mean) to generate HTML.  If you respect CGI, then C programs can be used as CGI scripts.  They can be VERY fast--see http://genome.ucsc.edu as an example of set of compiled C-code running a website.
