Is it possible...

To program a lisp or C application and use that as a website?


I'm an expert programmer who knows nothing about building websites, but now I need to. I have no idea how HTML works so where to I start? It doesn't seem like HTML is either functional or iterative in anyway. I might sound like an idiot... but how does it work? I'm too embarrassed to ask my son because he looks up to me too much.

All it is is generating content. Find the appropriate libraries to help you along and that's it.

I'm growing fond of this Markup::Perl, does anybody have any objections?

I see it as what PHP wanted to be.

Is this a serious question?

Yes, you can do it in any language. A web app is just a program that outputs HTML. Doing it in C however is a bad idea because it isn't safe.

Most web apps these days are written in PHP, Perl, Python, or Ruby (in that order). You can do it in Lisp however; check out PLT-Scheme or Arc. Hacker news is written in Arc.

Most toy web apps are written in PHP, Perl, Python, or Ruby.  Enterprise web applications are written in Java or C#.

There's a handful of web app servers written in CL, you should check them out.
Don't change these.
