I'm stupid — is this to create web apps that run on the server? More or less replacing PHP or whatever?

Right now, it's just a framework for building backends. So yes, server-side applications. However, I have thought about implementing a templating engine for serving HTML files.

    This can be super useful for IoT or embedded devices with web interfaces but restricted resources.

    I'm sorry, but it's like scratching your left ear with your right hand. But for fun, yeah, there are worse things people do. Good luck and have fun. Now here's where most of us will probably be sarcastic, but it's certainly a good way to explore whatever others consider bullshit.

    Edit: Pls read the following comment. I would hire him/her because I consider this as a waste of OP skills and he/she would be useful in many more projects.

    TLDR; it was not a hate. I am sorry if it sounds so.

      True. Also, I love the C language and I don't get joy out of writing in many other languages. Additionally, I've wanted to make something like this just to learn more about how web servers work. I appreciate your thoughts.

      An old boss of mine was an early developer for match.com, their entire web app was a monolithic C application, and, if I'm not mistaken, an ISCSI shared file-system based "database".
