Boards written in C/C++?

[conkermaniac]

According to Hotscripts, there are boards coded in C and C++. How is this possible? I thought they weren't web programming languages?

Many people have miss-understanding of CGI and usually think CGI is Perl.

Indeed, CGI is method of transfer but not a language! Perl is an interpreter C which is the most pop language used in CGI. C/C++ is also a language used in cgi and normally CGI-C/C++ are compiled instead of interpreted.


here is the list of common CGI language.

CGI-perl
CGI-C
CGI-C++
CGI-zh (shell batch in Unix)
CGI-vb ( I never see but printed in the book)

and many many.

So, the board generally speaking is written by CGI, C/C++
C/C++ are web language, indeed all language are web language thought CGI method
