I would like to see an implementation of our test suite [1] for CppCMS in order to see the CppCMS vs CPoll-Cppsp cage match. Any C++ experts who would be so kind to send us a pull request? :)

I love that the code for the fastest database backed web server[0] found in this test suite, beating golang by 40% and node.js by 13x comes from a repository[1] that is filled with "all the code i've ever written since grade 11; also includes some forward-ported code from grades 8 and 9." including random class projects and a netcat replacement.

Yeah. I've considered adding a popularity attribute of some sort to use in the filters. E.g., "mainstream," "challenger," and "fringe." But to date, I've not put a whole lot of thought into how exactly I could objectively measure popularity. Perhaps Google search hits for "[name] web application framework."

That would be biased towards the frameworks named as some common word (like "go") being mistakenly marked as more popular than they are.

Indeed. I'm not really sold on the idea, and addressing this is not a priority.

I just wanted to point out that I'm aware that it's a little funny to see fringe frameworks compared head-to-head with mainstreamers. But the charts are but one data point to consider in evaluating options. :)

cppsp also compiles with a comically large number of warnings.
