As someone that was sysadmin back in the days where cgi-bin was norm I can only say one thing about cgi-bni:
projectile vomits profusely
> No dependencies or libraries to install, upgrade, maintain, test, and secure.
Except entire webserver. Just install <your language's preferred web server lib> if you want simple.
> Works with any programming language ever that can read text and print text.
You won't use it with those that can't anyway unless for mental excercise
> Zero external configuration, other than telling your webserver to enable CGI on your file.
Except entire webserver. Just install <your language's preferred web server lib> if you want simple.
Seriously, what kind of nostalgia someone needs to have to have any positive thoughts over cgi-bin?
