Ha ha! Brilliant!

CGI Scripts anyone?

Unfortunately I remember very well the days when it all started to become popular. I created my personal Web page in '94 hosted on the University's servers. 2 years later I was creating Web applications using shell or C-based CGI scripts. And then when I saw Duke juggling I started to work on Java.



People still use CGI scripts. I got paid to rewrite one a couple of years ago.

I did at least used Python's wsgiref CGI adapter, so it wouldn't be hard to migrate to a newer technology.


I had a C-based CGI script that was essentially a flat-file database engine in '97 that got me booted from the Uni server.

Feels like coming full circle to now be building a webapp with Go.
