Gemtext in their current incarnations are already sufficiently
complete to build interactive CGI applications with them today.
The biggest problem is most likely the cost of setting up and tearing down
all the TLS connections, but there is no help for that.

Well, there is "0-RTT" TLS session resumption with early data. That reduces the overheads substantially (though it still requires a fresh TCP connection for each request). As far as I know no server supports 0-RTT currently, and I think only a few clients do. But it would fit well with heavy CGI use.-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: signature.ascType: application/pgp-signatureSize: 195 bytesDesc: not availableURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210131/e7e5a388/attachment.sig>
