   Well, since middle click has the same behavior even with @target="_blank", I couldn't care less if they enabled it or not.

   Hey alecco, nice blog! I've been playing with a bit of libevent goodness myself, your code will be very helpful ;)

   Well, yes, but memory footprint will be higher and speed will decrease slightly. You will also want to leave all the protocol handling (HTTP etc) in C to prevent further slowing down.

   Thanks for all the responses so far, guys! HN has helped me immensely already. I should add that I am, by no means, a "newbie". I've coded and deployed many production web applications in Debian that are still running today, and although as

    Ha, thanks a lot. Very good overview, I will start digging each one of those.

    Yeah, but I want to avoid having to force the user open up the browser before using the application, so even providing multiple versions of the same app to target the most mobile devices is an option.

    That's the thing that making me nervous. When you have got to a point where you need to periodically restart your processes because they somehow uncontrollably start consuming more memory than they should, something must be failing badly. W

    AR usage is one of my main concerns. I myself am a Python guy with good proficiency and understanding of Rails, but we employ mostly Rails people. Our biggest project right now uses Rails for the API and website and several background daemo

    Ha, thanks! I didn't notice '=' was wrong there, part of me thinks that can actually be common in C (assigning the result of a condition to be further used within the block).

    I'm sorry, who (or what) is DJB and what codebase are you referring to exactly? Also, what is the bug there? Can anyone educate me?

    I think Lisp is reasonably fast, possibly as fast as C++.

    Which leads me to point that out that Java is far from suitable for a start-up. I'm beginning to think that Python plus C/C++ might be the golden bullet for startups. Ruby's C integration is easier than Python, but there's something to be s

    Can anyone recommend a book that deals with the web/server-side aspect of C++ coding? I'm nearly half way through Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel (wonderfully well written!) but it doesn't look like it's getting near there.

    Hmm, I'm not sure if $3k is all you'll ever need for Java hardware. If the application is big enough you're likely to have keep on spending on vertical scaling. But then again, that's what big enterprises like to do: spend money on big boxe

    Well, I think the only major competitor to Bloglines these days is Google Reader which is in... C++ as well. Well, I would guess also probably a few bits of Python in between. Any googlers here? :)

    Interesting, thanks for sharing. So do you think I should avoid C++ altogether and stick to C? What about Google? Google uses C++ a lot and they seem pretty fine/stable to me? Maybe C++ can be good web architectural stuff (not as complex as

    Thanks a lot, Thrift looks very cool. That's exactly the kind of thing I would see myself doing a lot. Offload stuff out of Python altogether and communicate with a C++ daemon. I heard about Thrift when Protocol Buffers came along but didn'

    I don't mean to go about writing my web applications in C++. I do plan to write at least a couple for my job that are really performance sensitive. I'd like to use this opportunity to learn and educate myself as I believe a good web softwar
