Just FO with your c++ and stupid article. I've repeated this 1000 times and will repeat again, there's no point in using c++ in 2018 unless you want to be a moron :)

why not use rust? do you want to bring all security vulnerabilities to the internet too? Man these c++ guys haven't learnt a thing from recent vuln facepalm

This brings me back... I was doing this exact sort of stuff at the turn of the century, although admittedly in C - not C++ - and using/linking to the Delphi CGI library.

CGI in 2018 seems a bit passé...

Am I right in thinking the main reason not to do this is memory safety (as demonstrated by Cloudbleed)?

Just use rust man :| why do you want to bring all your security vulnerabilities and undefined behaviors to web?

yes you are! Just imagine websites leaking other people's credentials to hackers because someone was using an undefined language haha!!

Why the hell shouldn't it be possible? C++ powers most of the stuff under the hood. The higher level languages like PHP are just sugar on top.

Every programmer who has ever written c++ knows the worst thing to do in 2018 would be to bring c++ to web. All our operating systems are plagued with undefined behaviors and buffer overflows and what not! Let's not use c++ anymore, there are many better alternatives for us :)
