Wouldn't web frameworks be using something like fastcgi rather than raw http?


Why? FastCGI is slow. Controlling the entire HTTP stack is fast, and makes deployment much easier (only one piece of software to configure, not two or three).


Fastcgi has a lot of limitations. We have a clean slate here, might as well shoot for the stars.

Of course, if someone wants, they can totally do something via FastCGI too.
