WSGI server vs Web Server

[Skaperen]

i reference CGI to show that it is not a good choice. i've known this for 2-3 decades. i even wrote an HTTP server that turned request paths into library loads (instead of exec) in C. it benched about 27 times faster than CGI in Apache, probably because it held on to libraries between requests and many different requests used the same library.

i'm very much wanting to see what WSGI is about. i thought it might be about the Python interface, but there being a Ruby version, that is ruled out. to the google to research this.
