wookie
An asynchronous HTTP server written in Common Lisp for high-performance web applications.
What is wookie?
Wookie is an asynchronous HTTP server written in Common Lisp that handles concurrent connections without blocking. It provides a high-performance alternative to traditional synchronous servers, particularly useful for I/O-intensive web applications. The project evolved from an attempt to port Hunchentoot to async but became its own distinct implementation.
Common Lisp developers building web applications who need asynchronous, non-blocking HTTP server capabilities. It's particularly valuable for those working on high-concurrency services or I/O-bound applications.
Developers choose Wookie for its pure Common Lisp implementation of asynchronous HTTP serving, offering better performance for concurrent connections than traditional synchronous servers. Its divergence from Hunchentoot provides a specialized async-first approach rather than just an async port.
