Not posting to make a counterpoint but simply because related and interesting for the C++ folks around here.
> Wt is a web GUI library in modern C++. Quickly develop highly interactive web UIs with widgets, without having to write a single line of JavaScript. Wt handles all request handling and page rendering for you, so you can focus on functionality.

- coliveira 4y agoThanks, but just a reminder of why we don't use C++ for web applications: creating a web app is basically a string manipulation problem. The work in most cases is just getting data from a database and returning text that represents the HTML+CSS in the web page. Not only you don't need the C++ speed to do this process, but string manipulation is also the weak spot of C++, due to the need for manual memory management.
- zozbot234 4y agoYes, the ease of safe string manipulation is quite possibly one of the clearest wins for Rust over C++.
