Few years ago I felt the same and created trusted-cgi.

However, through the years I learned:

- yes, forks and in general processes are fast - yes, it saves memory and CPU on low load sites - yes, it’s simple protocol and can be used even in shell

However,

- splitting functions (mimic serverless) as different binaries/scripts creates mess of cross scripts communication - deployment is not that simple - security wise, you need to run manager as root and use unique users for each script or use cgroups (or at least chroot). At that moment the main question is why not use containers asis

Also, compute wise, even huge Go app with hundreds endpoints can fit just few megabytes of RAM - there is no much sense to save so few memory.

At worst - just create single binary and run on demand for different endpoints
