Whether C is Suitable for Web application
A:
More context is needed. I have used C programs as part of web applications -- for example to perform analysis of uploaded images. The front-end was PHP which invoked the C program using the shell.
To be honest though, it was painful -- C is much lower level than scripting languages. And I wouldn't use C for the entire application.
If you want performance benefits in a language that is also good for the web (and much higher-level), have a look at Python.
