I remember some years ago, generating your data files directly into a web-enabled S3 bucket was all the rage. Basically, that's what is now being called "incremental builds". It appears that the sad story of web development frameworks is that a new team will reinvent the wheel every year so that nothing will ever be fashionable and production-grade at the same time. I have some internal C++ servers running for 10+ years now. I wouldn't be able to imagine that with Rails. When we set up our current website, AngularJS 1.4 was new and considered very fashionable. By now, everyone treats the entire AngularJS project as archaic. I predict that in a year, there'll be a new hip web framework and its acolytes will then have their own Heureka moment with static files.

And of course, this is why C++'s 40 years of backwards compatibility is so important. The same compiler can maintain the same code. The new features are there, but they do not necessarily need to be used.

10+ year old C++ is most likely not good C++. I wouldn't trust such a network service to be reasonably secure. There are better solution nowadays even in the web development domain, that don't compromise on performance.
