I found myself working on a CGI script just last week. Last year I was asked to patch a production CMS that was just a giant collection of CGI scripts.

This stuff is still out there and when it's done well, it "just works". I'm not saying CGI is the future, but I did find it refreshing to edit a script and then have the change immediately available without waiting for some daemon to restart/reload.

All I hear when somebody says “Lambda” is “CGI”
Preach. CGI made the web dynamic. Before this, it was just a libary.
