However, it's still useful to implement cgi, cause the parallelism is managed outside (I suppose). I think strongly typed languages are more suitable for educational purposes because they involve less "random manipulations" in order to make the compiler shut up. When a C program fail, u have a big "bang", something concrete like a segmentation fault. I have recently lost time because the .net's JDBC (ADO.NET) decided to bind the number field of my database with ... a short int. I used all the cast I knowed until I realize that "short" int exist in .net. It sounds strange. However, it’s still useful to implement cgi, cause the parallelism is managed outside (I suppose).

Haskell is dead to me. Lisp I can still appreciate. 383 ruined functional programming for me for almost a year. Haskell is dead to me. Lisp I can still appreciate.
