#2Which Python is supported? Python 2 or 3? For some it makes a big difference. I really want to play with this, also what OS? Only Linux? I am trying to find it on the site but I'm not seeing it, maybe adding it on the front page or in an FAQ would help (requires creating an FAQ page or section). Thanks! Looks interesting otherwise.

#5Looks cool. Must have Python 3 for me to use, would definitely try it out if it's supported.

#6A lot of ad-tech companies build ad-servers in C, because the latency is so crucial in that context.

#7Why?
While Nxweb looks very promising, my first question would be 'Why should I use it over eg Nginx?' It would be helpful to have some direct comparison to other servers on the landing page.
EDIT: Ok, there is a link to some odd benchmarks and it includes performance comparisons to Nginx and others which are not understandable (Nginx 141 req/s and Nxweb 200 / 121 req/s while it's not clear when 200 and when 121); moreover they compare it to Mongoose which is an ORM/ODM

#8Seems cool, but curious if teams have investigated golang for these use cases, specifically if throughput is sufficiently high and the GC pauses are sufficiently small.

Python 2, since https://bitbucket.org/yarosla/nxweb/src/tip/src/lib/modules/... uses PyInt_FromLong, which was replaced by PyLong_FromLong in Python 3. On the other hand, it doesn't look hard to port.

Mongoose is a web server. See https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose. It's obviously not https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose.
