C/Golang/Lua/Vala/SBCL/Ada/Pascal and an embedded datastore like bdb!
Why in my day we used to write little apps with C and bdb that used less than 5mb of memory! (Sqlite didn't exist yo.)
Heck these days you get (ENTERPRISE) choices like LevelDB and BangDB.
Edit: Who wants to have a datastore-backed c10k contest on prgmr machines? :D
- notJim 14y agoHa, I'm aware that if you're careful, you can do it, but I was more thinking of a python or ruby stack with MySQL (or whatever) that most people would use :).
- codewright 14y agoMySQL and Ruby could be made to work. (on 128mb of ram)...concurrency would be awful though. I was trying to be lean. Ruby users are quiche eaters anyway. Real programmers write their code in Fortran and persist to a hierarchical database on a mainframe.

- eropple 14y agoHaha. That's funny. You think real programmers need needles. Or hands.
- lubujackson 14y agoI still feed the punchcards into the mainframe with my mouth.
