>Have you considered using node.js for webcit backend?
Writing server-side code in JavaScript is all the rage these days, and I'm
really happy about that.
WebCit-NG isn't a *complete* rewrite, though. I'm bringing over a lot of
code from legacy WebCit, which is written in C. The web server itself is
a beautiful C program, very efficient and well-organized, that serves up
fundamental
data objects in a REST/DAV type of fashion, and then we're using client-side
JavaScript to render the user interface.
So we've got a nice breakdown of languages: all of the heavy lifting is being
done by the C server engine, and all of the fluffy webby stuff is being done
by the JavaScript client.
