GNU is very pleased to announce the release of their next version of Serveez, which is apparently a fast server framework. I'm happy for them; I like their work and how smart it usually is. But what I don't understand is, why? Is Apache not open source enough for them? Is it slow and, if so, which uses care? What about NginX, or Caddy, or is it more like Undertow or Immutant or Jetty? What even is this Serveez thing? https://www.gnu.org/software/serveez/

it's not a web server. it's more like Twisted for python but written in guile scheme instead.

@icedquinn I just looked up Twisted and see a very similar description to Serveez. Still I am left wondering, what is it if not a web server?
@worldsendless web servers respond to HTTP requests and typically serve static files off the hard drive. Though nowadays application servers also speak HTTP and requests are proxies to them.
There are more protocols than HTTP.
Torrents, XMPP, Thrift and gRPC services, block chain sync, email, IRC, web eockets, ...

@icedquinn trying to think in terms of, "could my applications use this?" and keep coming up with the answer, "I have no idea"
