program in perl and tell me! cgi scripting is not bad. php is still cgi. its the most simplest way to make dynamic pages. but outside of nginx or apachi.
ppl use different web servers with there own way, like go's web server or flask in python or spring boot's web server. each still do read http protocol (witch is still plane text, u can use telnet and see) and put raw text and get raw text out, they just digest it all difrently and its more frame work centric then just using any old language and reading stdin and pumping stdout.aka the frameworks dont think of it as stdin and stdout. shit even lareval a php framwork, its just so far from thinking and using it in a stdin/stdout way that you prob could not consider it to be cgi with how you have to use it
