90s – an async C++23 web server with templating engine

Hacker News

Hi HN, I'd like to share with you a proof of concept of a project I've been recently working on in C++. C++ got support for coroutines this year, so I played with that idea that it might fun try it out and build a C++ layer on top of my previous C based project (which currently has a fully working Lua layer for reaching the same objectives). As for templating, the basic idea is to kinda resemble PHP, that is two core parts: live reloading can be achieved by hot swapping .so/.dll files (similar to hot-swapping .php files), <? ... ?> alike syntax for embedding the code. All embedded code can also leverage the co_await syntax, therefore making the webpages implemented this way simple and easily scalable. It's still a proof of concept, so the current state might not be final, but it's not expected to change way too drastically besides adding support for MySQL etc in near future.
