Re: Using C / CGI for server-side programming still a reasonable thing to do?

It all depends on how productive YOU and your organization will be
with any given set of technologies. C is archaic, as is CGI, but they
still "work". Some things you should know about CGI, though:

The only reason I would see for going the C/CGI route is if everyone
in the organization already knows C/CGI, you have existing software
built in C (or any other language) that you don't want to write a web-
based layer around, or you're a glutton for punishment :)
