Developer Builds a Modern Web App in C

Original: A Modern Web App in C

A developer has published a write-up on building a modern web application entirely in C, a language rarely used for web development today. The post is drawing attention on Hacker News, where readers are debating the trade-offs of choosing C over mainstream web stacks, discussing performance, memory safety, and whether low-level languages belong in modern web projects.

Why now: C is an unusual and technically demanding choice for web development, making the project a curiosity for developers.
