Using G-WAN for Web services

Question

I am considering to use G-WAN to serve web services dedicated to a mobile application (android, iOS) due to a potential high concurrency (number of users, number of requests).

The services will be interfaced to a PostgreSQL server, so I would like to know if C is a good choice to develop the solutions or if there are better alternatives ?

I don't have much knowledge in C, and as the job needs to be quickly done, I might leave G-WAN to use another web server like ningx, but then which framework could I use to develop these web services ?

Thank you !

Like G-WAN, PostgreSQL is written in C to be as fast as possible.

And, with G-WAN, you will be able to write your application in any mix of scripts written in C, C++, Objective-C and Java (PHP soon).

Besides the performance, there are not many Web servers around there able to give you that kind of wide choice.

I would recommend against G-WAN. I did an exhaustive study on the matter and I find that the vast majority of G-WAN information is written by G-WAN authors themselves. Look actual implementation documentation. Look up your server tech and G-WAN. I use ubuntu, I was pretty hard pressed to find much of anything.
