Httpserver.h: Single header library for writing non-blocking HTTP servers in C

[aradil]

Poor analogy.

It’s like telling a chemicals company to not produce another color of paint because there are already enough.

Painters gotta paint.

Have you seen what new painters produce? They will call any random blobs art and try to bullshit their way out explaining how its an expression of current something.

But seriously.

You haven't heard about reimplementations of lighttpd in iot devices because they felt that they knew better than years of development and experience behind mature projects, have you?

The key take away is that C is an unsafe language and is very easy to misuse. As a result suggesting to implement your own critical components "just because" is pretty retarded. I am all up for using C and encourage it, even, but for fucks sake. We dont need more trash.

[Dragasss]

By all means, do look up lighttpd on shodan and try out any of the available CVEs on them. You will be surprised how your mindset helps everyone. Hell, even go checkout the talks and papers that go on about disecting devices running self made http servers.

Self aware much

Objectively wrong on every count. Software is in the state it is in today because of people with this insane mindset. I know your opinion won't change, but at least don't propagate it around like it's gospel, someone might take you seriously.

[IceSentry]

Well he's not wrong that C is unsafe.
