What libraries do Elixir and Erlang use for web development with CGI and FastCGI?

What libraries do Elixir and Erlang use for web development with CGI and FastCGI?

If you wish to know it is for shared hosting services which use CGI and FastCGI. VPSs and dedicated servers are not in use here.

Thanks

You could probably make a simple escript to act as a FastCGI endpoint (I’d not recommend CGI as it would reload the BEAM VM on every-single-request). The spec is certainly simple enough that libraries are not really needed at all.

But why though? You will be losing out on a huge amount of features and speed by doing that… o.O

People don’t hold domain names for that long, there are copies at Github and MitEdu at least they should be there until Github expires or the owners delete them.

I completely understand this motivation. However, I’m unclear on why cgi or fast_cgi are seen as the basics. They’re older, that’s for sure, but they aren’t particularly basic or fundamental to web interactions. They certainly don’t form the basics that underly how something like Erlang works.
