Re:Show HN: The Silicon C++14 Web Framework by BinaryIdiot on Monday January 19, 2015 @11:11AM (#8912458)
I really enjoy the C++ language but am incredibly rusty since I haven't had a job in a very long time that requires the knowledge of use of the language. I was actually thinking about writing my own web framework for fun and learning (a bonus if it became useful but I wasn't holding my breath) but now that I see this I'm going to play around with it and see if it doesn't want I wanted or if I'll still work on one.

Not a huge fan of the preprocessor usage but still very interesting and very cool!

Even if it not clear in the readme. The preprocessor is optional. I posted the plain c++ version of the hello_word example here: https://github.com/matt-42/silicon/issues/2#issuecomment-705...

I will add a note in the readme about the preprocessor and how to bypass it.
