Genuine curiosity. How hard is it to creat web applications in C? It sounds appealing but I come from Ruby/Python/Js primarily and worry about how complex it would be to manage memory and all that?

Easy peasy - Just use CGI and never call free().

In all seriousness, I use to work on a large web app written in C and it was fine for CRUD, but I would never use it for a greenfield project when there are so many other options.
