Well I don't know about others here, but I think its cool. If you can make the setup super readable and get the performance of C then why not? Especially now when you can get claude to write a bunch of the framework for you. Add in whatever you need whenever you need it and you automatically have a platform independent web framework that's no bigger than what you need and likely decently performant.

Maintainer nightmare checklist:

- Web framework : inherently hard to maintain due to communication over evolving standards. Check.

- AI written code where nobody knows howwhatwhenwhy!? Check.

- Written in C. Check.

bwahahahaha!

edit: semi-joking. As I actually like the simplicity of pure C. But the combination of AI written,network-facing and C makes me shudder.

Haha, I have used AI in some parts of it - mainly the JSON part because I could not wrap my head around it for the life of me. But I am proud that 90% is self written!

I think the old HN ethos that I loved, on full display here, won't survive intact in the AI era. It'll have to change from "It is cool to try making <neat tool> in <non obvious language>". Such a project is now a prompt away, and there's light-years of distance between a carefully hand crafted version and something that is posted aspirationally by an AI.

Every agent I know of or use will always say they built "Production ready, secure, fast package for X" if you ask them to build that, but they rarely actually will. It takes enormous time and effort to actually do that, and any first iteration of "production ready" is definitely aspirational until it actually hits the real world and survives. I'm speaking from experience, fwiw.
