and

both existed before anyone used javascript on server side, as far as i know
(and they are written in C, not C++)

doing some research on servers i found out that i can handle more
connections simultaneously as single threaded.
on thread per connection i have a huge overhead, just think of the
default 2MB stack per connection - 1000 connections is 2GB ram just for
stack.
however as single threaded, i can server connections by the 10,000s(or
even a million).
later to my surprise, i found out that that was exactly one of the main
considerations behind node.js
but node.js requires code in js. and i am more of a c++ guy
(and of course c++ is more efficient than js)
C++ did a long way and now modern c++ (i.e. c++11 / c++14 ) is on par
with other modern languages.
the idea behind c++11/14 was to make it simple for beginners, while
still keeping the option to control every bit for advanced users.
one thing i hear people hate about c and c++ is its memory handling
(malloc/free or new/delete), however in forgot about it years ago using
shared_ptr ( now in c++11 and before that, use boost instead).. you can
still control when it is freed if you want (in countrary to
garbage-disposal-thread languages). as a matter of fact, i use this a
lot - i create an object that cleans up,. and no matter how i exit the
function it gets cleaned up.
so i wanted a node.c++ instead of writing my own
in theory simple single threaded web server usage code could look
something like:
int main()
{
auto server=HttpServer::create(80,[](Request &request)
{
if (request.header=="HelloWorld")
{
HttpResponse(200,"<H1>Hello, world</h1>");
} else {
File::Read(request,header,[](bool success, string body)
{
if (success)
HttpResponse(400,body);
} else {
HttpResponse(404);
}
);
}
}
);
}

i tried searching the web but got no result
what web servers other than node.js are single threaded ?
anyone has experience with one ?
is there one in which the cgi is in c++ ?
