Wt

Hey,

Wt is in general practical for complex applications and has built-in support for interactivity among users (see for example the simplechat example), with support for web sockets.

The easiest way to get started is to implement all functionality in one process, but you may want to evolve such a design to split up your application vertically in multiple layers, each running isolated from each other, of which the top layer is the frontend implemented in Wt. This effort of course is standard systems design, and using C you have access to many popular libraries like thrift, boost::asio, to implement the communication between all these layers.

In practice, success will depend on how familiar you are with complex (C) application development.
