Abstract

The project aimed to develop and implement an efficient web server in the C++ programming language. A highly concurrent network server was achieved using system calls such as polls and a limited number of threads. The server has built-in support for a new scripting language called Ckript. It is an original project that exposes most of the server’s functionality and is the primary way of developing back-end web applications. Ckript is an interpreted language with a strong typing system, garbage collection, semi-manual memory management, first-class functions, explicit variable references, support for certain object-oriented patterns and many others. In the article the syntax of the language but also the environment architecture has been explained. Finally, the testing procedure has been described with the results’ presentation and discussion at each step.
