And yet its 118KB memory footprint, while 1/75 that of node.js’s, is still 7× that of httpdito, which does not just “hello, world” but also fileserving. So “writing the most lightweight web apps imaginable” is really overselling nope.c.
Hey, folks. Don’t use this software. It’s basically a bunch of security vulnerabilities pushed into the shape of a web server. (Not doing bound checking literally everywhere, header injection problems, etc.) I’ve informed the author of the most egregious ones, but they are obviously a new programmer and not capable of taking all of this on.
I really hope the author was making it as a joke. I’d be sad if someone actually took it seriously.
Still, good name!

This is really the wrong metric to be judging a framework by…
