Language agnostic

Mongrel2 is described as language agnostic, meaning it does not prefer any specific programming language over another. The server's documentation says:

The term 'language agnostic' came from people who read about Mongrel2 in the early days, and it means that Mongrel2 does not try to promote any one language over any others.[4][5]

Development

Shaw began working on the server in June 2010 and released version 1.0 of the software on September 1, 2010.[4] Mongrel2 has nothing in common with the original Mongrel webserver, except for using the same HTTP parser.[6]

gollark: Or a cuboid.
gollark: The law often is.
gollark: It somehow manages to use 200 MB running in its own tab, so yes, it might not work very well for RAM conservation. But this way means that Google isn't hoovering up my data through Chromium, and Discord can't monitor running processes or whatever.
gollark: I run Discord in the browser to reduce whatever data gathering they do *and* RAM use.
gollark: Also probably so they can monetize it later.
