I've seen CGI programs in C before.
I don't recommend it. I think it will give most security people nightmares, heh.

It _might_ make sense to do gitweb using libified git Smurf is working on, in order to reduce forks and execs, but that is mostly independent of rewriting that in C.

I'd see having Perl XS for libgit as something much more sensible. And you could do cute porcelain stuff with that as well.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant by what Smurf is working on -- libified git with Pyrex.

Pyrex? not XS? I'd like to see Perl "use Git;". :)

OK, for the record I should mention that I first suggested using Swig, to be neutral across perl/python/tcl. BTW, this list is merely alphabetical not suggesting the order of my preference ;-).

In that case it would be better and way cooler to have mod_git for Apache.
