Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
The other major thing you'll run into is performance. WEBrick's HTTP parsing code may look hairy but it is fast. Mongrel was the first Ruby HTTP server to implement it's HTTP parser in C using Ragel, which Thin, Unicorn, and Puma all copied; although there's a bug in the original Mongrel HTTP parser where it does not combine the values duplicate HTTP headers (yes, HTTP Header names can actually be repeated).

I don’t get all the hate for PHP and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
You could also use something like EventMachine (In ruby), Twisted (Python), Node (JS) or ReactPHP (for PHP) that will use the language and turn it into a web application server, and then you'll have only one long running process that handle all your requests with shared memory. You could even use something more fancy like RoadRunner in the case of PHP.

Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
Maybe check out EventMachine. You can roll your own using sockets if you don't want to use a library.
