Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I'm open-sourcing my game engine
They use (uWebSockets)[https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets], which was written in C++, but has an interface to use in NodeJS. It's been really performant for me in my simple tests compared to other popular websocket libs that slow down fairly quickly.

8 Best WebSocket Libraries For Node
µWebSockets, pronounced as "microWebSocket”, is a WebSocket library written in C++ and has Node.js bindings. Its design focuses on being efficient and scalable, making it ideal for applications that require high concurrency and low latency.

Recommendations for a CPP HTTP server which supports changing max threads at run time.
You can do that with any single threaded library that leaves threading to you. Like for example https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets

What's the hot tech stack these days?
Websockets are also pretty valuable for updating the page in real time, there are servers in many languages. I'm a big fan of https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets which is C++ but also has JS bindings to use with Node.js.

I have done a full benchmark of a POST REST API on my computer: Node.js vs Fastify vs Express.js vs Deno vs Bun vs GO. Node.js is used WITH and WITHOUT clustering on 6-core I7 processor
Can you include uWebsockets? https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets

Nuklear – A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library
Not exaclty -- it looks like it's pretty overkill for my needs
I'm looking for something more like websocketpp[0], or even just grpc without a requisite proxy. uWebsockets looks really promising, being header only, but in the fine print requires a runtime library. unfortunately, none of that ecosystem seems to use cmake, making integrating it that much more of a pain.
why use cpp for this, I'm sure some HNer will ask. the ray tracer itself is using cuda, that's why. I've also debated
- running it as a grpc server and having some proxy in a more web-accessible language
- creating python bindings and using python to make a websocket/http server for it
neither of those are out of the question, but they're not my first choices, because I'd like to keep the build & execution simple. introducing dependencies, especially other executables, is in conflict with that.
i don't need anything particularly scalable -- a threaded implementation, or one using select() would be fine, if not preferable.

WebSocket Server in C
Really cool i also made and CAPI for using WebSocket in C, https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets/tree/master/capi
I will take a deep look on your project thanks for sharing!

Socketify.py - Maybe the fastest web framework for Python and PyPy
We discover a really fast, small, and well maintained C++ Library called uNetworking/uWebSockets, but no C API available, so we create and adapt the full C API from uNetworking/uWebSockets and will integrate libuv powered fetch and file IO, this same C API is used by Bun
- In the 1970s, programming was an elite's task. Today programming is done by uneducated "farmers" and as a result, the care for smart algorithms, memory usage, CPU-time usage and the like has dwindled in comparison.

Experience using crow as web server
I looked at oatpp and drogon, which are both great, but feel too high-level for my purposes. I tried drogon and got something working, but it feels like too much for my requirements, as in particular I'd like to slot in my choice of Json and message-body handling. C.f. the simple approach in Crow, which I easily understand and build on.

Ask HN: Easiest and cheapest full-stack frameworks that you love?
talking about C++, there are drogon framework: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon
not bells and whistles like on Wt as there are no integrated widgets. But have c++ based template (for HTML) engine and other integrated parts what you expect from framework (routing, controllers, db, authentication handling and so on).
and boasts high performance design

Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang
C++ - my favorite language, and, with modern revisions, extremely expressive and readable. There isn't a web server in the standard library, but there are a number of solid open-source choices (e.g., Drogon).

Cppfront, Herb Sutter's proposal for a new C++ syntax
> * Let’s not pretend all conceivable applications are, or should be, written in C++.*
This is a discussion on C++.
> People mostly stopped using C++ to develop web servers which handle web requests, because they moved to Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.
I'm not sure you understood what I said, or thought things through.
By the way, the top performing web framework in the Tech Empower benchmark is a C++ framework which uses C++'s standard smart pointers.
https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon
Also, one of the most popular web frameworks for Python started off as an April Fools joke. I'm not sure what's your point.
Lastly, the main reason why C++ ceased to be the most popular choice in some domains was because it was during a very long time the most popular choice in some domains, and still remains one of the most popular choices. Some of the reasons why C++ dropped in popularity is the fact that some vendors decided to roll their own alternatives while removing support for C++. Take for instance Microsoft, which was once responsible for making C++ the only tool in town for professional software development. Since it started pushing C# for all sorts of web applications, multi-platform applications, and even desktop applications, and also pushing the adoption of those technologies as a basic requirement to distribute apps in its app store, developers can only use technologies that exist. But does that say anything about the merits of C++?

What library/framework to use for writing a Web server?
https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon has the best performance afaik
-
Hmm
Drogon is a framework for doing web backend in c++ but it is nowhere near on the level of something like Django in terms of ergonomics. In terms of Rust, Rocket is trying to be the easy to use framework with low boilerplate.

> How would one go about building a rest service in C++?
I'd use https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon if the app needs to be pure C++ or Cutelyst (https://cutelyst.org/) if it's a Qt app which needs to expose an http server

Built my first project with rust!
About the project - I was trying to find the perfect reliable and performant rust's web framework to use for one of my personal project, and since I've been using Drogon/uWebSockets previously, I wanted to choose the best one to replace it. So I decided to create a benchmark system that is fully automated.
