title: Why do you not use C for your web apps?
body: <p>I was having a look at a few different web servers this morning when I came across <a href="http://gwan.ch/index.html" rel="noreferrer">G-WAN</a>. As I understand, its a web server written in C and you have to make use of it by writing your websites/webapps in C. One clear benefit is speed as the G-WAN site suggests.</p>
  
  <p>However, on the forums, the creator of G-WAN asked why not use C for web based apps and I can not think of a single reason apart from it being difficult (for me anyway, I am newbie when it comes to C). There must be more reasons why we all use PHP, Python, Ruby etc apart from it being easy to develop in these languages. I don't see that as a good reason.</p>
  
  <p>So I put it to you: Why do you not use C for your web apps?</p>
