The fastest mini web server

John Fremlin , in his opinion, released the fastest mini web server for dynamic content. The teepeedee2 server is written entirely in Common Lisp (CL), a LISP dialect, the second highest-level programming language.



Fremlin talked about his development last year, long before the release, at the Tokyo-based Linux Users Group meeting, where he showed performance measurement results ( PDF ), which demonstrate that "functional languages ​​can exceed C".
