G-WAN (106 KB) is 5x faster than IIS+ASP.Net!
G-WAN is a web server, with a small-footprint (50 KB). It supports GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE and OPTIONS, conditional requests and directory listings. G-WAN is also provably safer (speed is a side-effect of good designs).
G-WAN is an application server (hence the other 50 KBs). Its C servlets (that you just ´edit & play´) are as fast as static contents (benchmark the ´hello.c´ servlet sample against a Perl, PHP, Java or ASP.Net equivalent).
Why use C rather than a ´safer´ language for G-WAN servlets?
- Perl, PHP, Java, ASP.Net and G-WAN are written in C, for a reason.
- If you already know C, how many languages do you need to learn?
- C can be as safe as any other language (see the ´crash.c´ servlet).
The best way to understand G-WAN´s capabilities is to play with it!
