This is not generally true. Some web apps out there being hit very hard are not implemented in C. Think of Apache and FastCGI/SCGI talking to long-running apps via local socket or TCP/IP. The apps are often implemented in so-called scripting languages. As always it depends on the quality of the code. I like the idea of back-sock. Ciao, Michael.
