I think not being popular would qualify them as esoteric

• pdonis 6y ago
  Perhaps the ones from the late 1990s were (depends on what you think qualifies as "esoteric", since Medusa, for example, was serving high volume websites in the late 1990s), but I wasn't claiming they weren't; I was only pointing out that they did in fact support asynchronous request handling as a first class feature, even before Nginx did. Nginx, OTOH, was popular before NodeJS even existed, let alone before NodeJS became mainstream.
