- chgs 2y agoNobody talks about it because people who use it just use it and get on with their life. It’s painfully easy to develop and host. However it’s likely that generations who weren’t making websites in the days of Matt’s script archive don’t even know about cgi, and end up with massive complex frameworks which go out of style and usability for doing simple tasks. I’ve got cgi scripts that are over 20 years old which run on modern servers and browsers just as the did during the dot com boom.
