No problem! With C, I started with the K&R book. This provided a great foundation for C and some fundamental CS concepts. I am unsure of the best way to obtain a more structured curriculum outside of college, as that is how I received m

Thank you for the feedback! I agree it does obfuscate the signature, possibly too much. I think it's okay as long as the user has the option to do both, with this made clear in the docs. Also, yes I agree, RequestContext makes more sen

Hi, I have been coding on GitHub for about 2 years. There's no trick other than enjoying it and relentlessly programming for fun. You probably know this, but if you enjoy something, you'll likely be better at it than someone who d

That's a very good idea actually and I had wanted to do that but it didn't click that you could do that with a macro! Thank you, I'll will implement that :)

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that! Yes it's on the backlog and will be fun to implement :)

Thank you for the feedback, it is appreciated! I did intend to implement parallelization as a later feature so it's good to bring it up.

Yes, I'm sure that is something I can add to it. I will add it to the backlog of things to do :)

Haha, the example could be better. All of the other things combined, I would say it could be called a framework. There are some more examples in doc/

Thank you, that means a lot! :)

Wow! That really means a lot because I always make a lot of effort to make sure my code is just that :) Appreciate you saying that!

Haha, I have used AI in some parts of it - mainly the JSON part because I could not wrap my head around it for the life of me. But I am proud that 90% is self written!

No of course not, I understand where they are coming from in all honesty. Thank you that means a lot!

That's amazing to hear and motivates me to solidify the framework further. I appreciate you showing interest! :) I'd love to hear about your project when you get round to it.

That's fair. And I do agree. The use cases for something like this are very thin compared to what tools you can use out there instead, Django, Rails, Express, etc. All of which offer a much safer development experience. However, I st

True. Also, I love the C language and I don't get joy out of writing in many other languages. Additionally, I've wanted to make something like this just to learn more about how web servers work. I appreciate your thoughts.

Hi, sorry maybe I should've added a comment for that. The 'appRoute' is a macro that expands to a function signature. The macro is: '#define appRoute(name) HttpResponse name(AppContext ctx)' and the parameter I pass

C finds a way.

Right now, it's just a framework for building backends. So yes, server-side applications. However, I have thought about implementing a templating engine for serving HTML files.

For fun! And because I wanted to create a framework that makes coding in C feel like a high level language (mainly for fun though).
