Request: See how C succeeds.

I'd be interested in a C benchmark against say, Rust.

This is a C (or C++) webserver forked from Mongoose many years ago. I used it successfully to embed a webserver in a project, its very easy to get going. No libs, just compile with the file included in the project. Here's an example that could be altered to return the data you use.
