For those interested in web development, GWAN is a VERY fast

I did it and I'm convinced.
I have no intention even to try something that is not
open-source

something that
is not open-sourced...
I am posting anonymously to protect my identity.
Have to say, that being anonymous *and* posting vague
accusations with kind of strange proof links BTW all it talks
about is "GWAN is not open-source and thus it's bullshit ...".
Then it lists some security bugs in old version of GWAN that
was then hidden from downloads (and for obvious reasons if you
ask me).
You are right to be suspicious of G-Wan. Regardless of the
merits of the
software itself, its author is known for his aggressive
propaganda of
G-Wan, including attempts to cover up serious past security
vulnerabilities.
Hm, yet I never heard about G-WAN at all until somebody brought
it up in the NG.
Have a look here to get an understanding of how far this goes:

This in fact it contains a bunch of accusations of it's own.
It's not like I should have posted all this (everybody knows
better then to trust anonymous blindly etc.) but just could not
resist.
OTOH, it seems to me that a web server that relies on C for
everything **is** very strongly subject to security issues. The
code that generates pages must be absolutely bug free before
being put in production, which is hard with C for anything that
is not trivial.
