Interesting.

Were you around for the original design phase? Why was C chosen? Did you and yours collect performance metrics to see if anything meaningful was gained?
- drdec 1y agoI was not around for the original design. Plus this was very early in my career. It was also early web, around the year 2000. The architecture involved a custom Apache httpd module to handle requests. That most likely drove the decision to use C. The system was eventually rewritten in Python, after I had moved on. I'm not aware of any performance metrics.
