I play with c some but I just could not stand the libraries I could find to work with fast cgi, just totally opaque and I would get hung up on things like handling some socket a doohicky would hand over and I'm supposed to work with it and I could never figure it out.

Once I ditched the library idea and just coded to the spec things went much nicer lol it turned out to be a relatively normal socket coding project. Just hobby code tho.
