I was just browsing the "Module tree reference" for Pike. There seems to be a crazy amount of modules for the language. Weirdly enough for web there's only CGI (and WebSockets for some reason), and the CGI module isn't really documented. Under protocols there seems to be everything I ever need.
- lysace 2y agoWe kind of went crazy with protocol support, starting early on. It was a good way to learn the protocols in depth. The late 90s was an exciting time. It eventually became a defining feature of the language's library. But we were too busy having fun building the language to "market" it. This became a pattern.
