Rage: Fast web framework compatible with Rails
Most of the speed I believe is from using the server iodine https://github.com/boazsegev/iodine which is a wrapper around facil.io https://facil.io that is built using C.

Zap – fast back ends in Zig
Seeing this, and the use of zig for https://github.com/tigerbeetledb/tigerbeetle I wonder if zig might become a good tradeoff vs rust for servers if in long term it's more readable and maintainable and with a different approach to quality.
I would also be interested to hear the compile time, binary size and memory usage of those example apps.
Looks like the underlying facil.io library hasn't seen any commits since 2021, so that's a bit of a red flag. https://github.com/boazsegev/facil.io

Made my first C web application using CWebStudio framework
I don't have a use-case for these C web frameworks, but a quick google search yielded facil.io which appears to be a collaborative project with a much stronger codebase, better documentation, less janky APIs and should likely be the one most people gravitate to.

Show HN: Pure C Asynchronous HTTP Framework
Looks interesting.
There’s also facil[0], and h20 (though the latter is more of a standalone thing, it seems).
It might be fun to try to build something on top of them in something like Chicken Scheme or Janet.
