   Just saw the Eleventy announcement and looked up WebC and found a different WebC which is actually C embedded in HTML – basically, think PHP but with C instead — and all I can think is… why? *shudder*

   http://webcprecompiler.com/

   (I wrote my very first web app – for checking out books from my university’s library, which they didn’t understand or use – circa 1993 in C only because I had to. There was nothing else to use.)

     Congrats on the new release, by the way. Sounds great :)

     @rdela Yeah, it sounds really nice. I like that it sticks close to the metal of the foundational web stack while simplifying authoring. Good to have an alternative to Svelte/SvelteKit given the latter’s focus on so-called “serverless.”

     Looking forward to having a proper play when I get a moment.
