Developer Builds a Modern Web App Entirely in C

Original: A Modern Web App in C

Developer Corey Prophitt has published a write-up detailing how he built a modern web application in C, a language rarely used for full web development today. The piece walks through the approach and tooling involved. It has drawn significant attention on Hacker News, where readers are debating the trade-offs of choosing C over mainstream web stacks like JavaScript frameworks.

Why now: Hand-rolling a modern web app in C defies current mainstream practice, making it a technically curious talking point for developers.
