   @mlinksva maybe there's some worth to implementing the "boring" parts (parts specific to resource management, or are most critical to write in a "safe" language) in FastSafeLang, and then embedding lua (or some other embedding-friendly smol squishy language) to implement the parts that are more interesting for customization

     @mlinksva@mastodon.social True, Apache mod_* is about the same thing and pretty old.
     
     Framework level would be cool and doesn't sound far-fetched at all. Someone will do it.

     @clacke @aeva I'm unfamiliar w/those but C web server exposing low level scripting interface semi-popular forever eg Navi/Tcl, Netscape/js, Apache/mod_*, I guess ngnix/Lua now. Definitely thinking of pushing FastSafeLang impl up to ~framework level, with scripting for only application-specific code. Figure it's a naive thought though considering unpopularity to say the least.

     @mlinksva @aeva On a low level it has, see e.g. Puma or uWSGI. But it would be cool to see it on the application level too.

     @aeva right! Nevermind fediverse servers, it's always been amazing to me that web apps in general haven't taken this path. But, has to be designed for, evidently a huge barrier.
