Woo is a fast non-blocking HTTP server built on top of libev. Although Woo is written in Common Lisp, it aims to be the fastest web server written in any programming language.

This software is still BETA quality.

See benchmark.md for the detail.

(ql:quickload :woo)

(woo:run
  (lambda (env)
    (declare (ignore env))
    '(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, World"))))

(ql:quickload :clack)

(clack:clackup
  (lambda (env)
    (declare (ignore env))
    '(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, World")))
  :server :woo
  :use-default-middlewares nil)

(woo:run
  (lambda (env)
    (declare (ignore env))
    '(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, World")))
  :worker-num 4)

When the master process gets these signals, it kills worker processes and quits afterwards.

• QUIT: graceful shutdown, waits for all requests are finished.
• INT: shutdown immediately.

See benchmark.md.

Woo has switched the backend from cl-async to libev after the latest Quicklisp dist release. If you're gonna run the benchmarks by your own, please use the latest one.
