I have been getting tired of node dependencies and not knowing what I'm running or when it will break. I make simple things for small number of users and started playing with just writing my own CGI in C++ or bash behind thttpd. This appears to be working very well so far and runs on a vanilla Linux install with deps just on system libs and gcc. With all the pain and unsafety of deps, this might actually make most sense. What new vulnerabilities am I inviting? Why aren't we still doing things this way? It seems... much easier, perhaps not to make it but to secure and sustain it.
