Nor would you probably want to. In addition to the security nightmere that hooking an inexperienced c programmer's c program directly to the internet is, CGI is not really known for scaling all that well. Like if you were really doing this on a real high performance site you'd probably want to use FastCGI. But also you just wouldn't do this. If you want to be low level, at least use rust.
