Crazy how few dependencies a toy console program needs.

I wonder how minimal a giant web app written in C would be? Would it still compile in a fraction of a second?

It would compile quickly -- on a relative basis -- it would just take 2 - 10x longer to write than something in a language more suited to web development...

And probably also contain a bunch of RCE vulnerabilities.

I've deployed microservices in C! It's a PITA. Not to build, but to get the microservice to accept C. It builds real fast. Then zip, and `aws lambda blah blah` works fine.
