title: What works for web dev in C++
body: <p>I want to create a web application that runs with very little RAM and I think C++ can help me achieve that.</p>
  
  <p>Now, many people say C++ is unsuited for web development because:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>there is no easy string manipulation </li>
  <li>is an unsafe language (overflows, etc)</li>
  <li>long change / build / test cycles</li>
  <li>etc.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But I'm sure the C++ community have found ways to alleviate all those (maybe not the compile time) however since I'm not a regular so it is hard for me to put a value on what I find in Google.</p>
  
  <p>So I'm asking for some guidance. I would appreciate if you share what works, what tools/libs are current and alive. What strategies can help with web dev in C++? FastCGI or embedded server (Asio / POCO / Pion / etc.)? How do you address security concerns? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot for any help</p>
