Re:I put C on web pages at my last start-up (Score 1)

I had a similar experience, in one of the institutions I worked I was tasked with writing an internal application although I wasn't hired as a developer. What I did was to write a pre-processor that let me mingle C code and HTML data together. Then I separated them with the preprocessor and linked them with the tiny webserver and the Internet Explorer widget (the client was very picky about how the application looked).

I left the "Hey that button should be pink" bastards with the source code and docs for it all but I don't think anyone with a little sense in them would get anywhere near it. The whole thing was one big binary which ran as two threads, one for the webserver and one for the Internet Explorer window.

Still I wish there was some mature platform which lets me do that. An HTML window controlled by C source is very nice. You don't have to deal with any fancy-schmancy GUI toolkit and you have all the power you will ever need.
