Ask HN: What Happened to G-WAN?

by ashitlerferad·2y ago·4 comments·view on hn ↗
About a decade or more ago, a former colleague suggested, "You should start using Gwan; it's faster and more capable than Nginx." At the time, I didn't delve into it much, skeptical of the hype. There was considerable discussion in forums and on Stack Exchange then. Recently, I checked G-wan's website and found it inactive, in contrast to Lighttpd, which isn't as popular but remains active. I'm curious about what led to G-wan's decline, given its once-promising potential.
