Why? Nginx is not a political statement or software nor does it benefit it's author's causes in any way. With that said, use caddy. Not for political reasons, just because it's awesome. https://caddyserver.com/ https://caddyserver.com/

Caddy needs a decent networking library to compete with nginx, it cannot do that with crappy net package.

  My understanding is that Go's net/http package is very robust, performant and state of the art. Do you have references suggesting that it has been reviewed poorly?

  Go's net package is used by Google. In production. What's wrong with it?

It is not. This is why I ended my comment with "if such things matter to you".

  Would you expect someone living in Russia and being active in business to come out as anti Putin?
  - atemerev 10y ago
    Yes, it is still possible, though increasingly harder to do (some of my friends expressed this explicitly and publicly). And even if it wasn't, silently doing your job is one thing — and enthusiastically supporting the current regime is another.

      I googled around for a bit and can't find any evidence for this enthusiastic support do you have any pointers? This besides the fact that nginx is software and software doesn't really have opinions.

      Although the ostracization is not coming from the government, it should be noted that many face economic deprivation for expressing their personal or political views within the United States.

"Nginx is not a political statement or software nor does it benefit it's author's causes in any way." Sure it is. Loving nginx and hating Apache httpd (especially) is short hand for telling everyone just how high-tech and up-to-date one is. "Still using Apache? Way to go Grandpa! Get with the times... all the cool kids use nginx nowadays!". How about choosing the best solution for the job at hand, coolness and hip-factor regardless ;)
