https://bigcgi.com/development - "Fast-CGIish Integration"

Are you thinking something like "FastCGI, except over stdin/out instead of a listening socket"? Since that sounds like it could work pretty efficiently if (unlike nginx's fcgi implementation) it supported multiplexing.

I think what I meant by that was basically building a generic FCGI wrapper that could automatically scoop up generic CGI scripts and run them in a shared process automatically. Like this: https://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap

I like the idea of communication via stdin/stdout though, I'll add that to my notes.

I actually was going to remove that from the roadmap entirely, because lately I really like the process isolation and statelessness of regular CGI.

Thanks for your comment!
