The description of TrustLeap G-WAN - Play With New Friends
G-WAN is a (160 KB) web server that is 5 million times faster than IIS + C#.
G-WAN supports GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE and OPTIONS, conditional requests and directory listings. G-WAN is also provably safer (speed is a side-effect of good designs).
G-WAN is also an application server. Its C servlets (that you just 'edit & play') are as fast as static contents (benchmark the 'loan.c' servlet sample against a Perl, PHP, Java or ASP.Net equivalent).
Why use C rather than a 'safer' language for G-WAN servlets?
1. Perl, PHP, Java, ASP.Net and G-WAN are written in C, for a reason.
2. If you already know C, how many languages do you need to learn?
3. C can be as safe as any other language (see the 'crash.c' servlet).
The best way to understand G-WAN's capabilities is to play with it!
