Started preparing to write the server side of the SS assistant. There are many issues.

• Language If I want to pursue C++ backend development in the future, it’s probably best to stick with C++. But I also want to try other solutions like Python. I tried webpy in Python and found it very lightweight - I probably won’t use the Flask framework I used before. Another option is Go. Go’s syntax is also an issue as I haven’t learned it yet.

• Framework I’ve currently found C++’s handy library. I’m not particularly keen on using the muduo library. I still don’t want to use boost, even though Effective C++ recommends learning it. My first impression of handy is quite good. Still learning about it.

The goal is to first write a static server using handy, then expand from there.
