@akjcv i jotted down a list of improvements i would make and wow i really need to learn C now because it is lengthy
@aescling @akjcv it's a cgi script; you don't have to handle networking yourself aside from routing and content negotiation, which probably needs to be bespoke
for xml, i'll obviously be using libxml2 and libxslt but cgit just does bespoke raw html output so like you can yolo it if you want
if the data structure is really basic, i’m not sure what the benefit is to using a library. basic data structures don’t have high maintenance burdens
@Lady @akjcv C itself is pretty simple but figuring out (a) what libraries to use, and (b) how to go about integrating them at build time, not so much
