Building a Modern Web App Entirely in C

Original: A Modern Web App in C

Developer Corey Prophitt has published a write-up on building a modern web application in C, a language rarely used for full web development today. The article, hosted on his personal site, has drawn significant attention on Hacker News, where commenters are debating the practicality, safety and appeal of writing server-side web apps in C instead of mainstream languages like JavaScript or Python.

Why now: C is unusual and controversial for web development, making the project a curiosity for developers on Hacker News.
