@gritty: I am aiming for something completely minimal, no persistence, and very few in-memory records with MRU search optimization. It's data-agnostic, with binary fixed-size records (you can map your struct on it).

I could add persistence easily, but kind of like the idea of ephemeral services...

cgisesh - a tiny cgi session manager for games TLDR: I am making a minimal in-memory "session database server" for keeping track of user data, ideal for games. Any thoughts? Every time I try to make a quick-and dirty CGI game or sketch out a simple application, I get really frustrated. Gemini conviniently provides user certificates which can be used to track sessions, but things get complicated very fast. I am making a minimal subsystem for keeping track of user-associated data, ideal for...
