Hey DEV community! 👋
Recently, I shared how I completely rewrote the Classic ASP engine from scratch in Go to save legacy applications from Microsoft's VBScript deprecation. Today, I'm super excited to share a short video presentation I just put together showing AxonASP 2.0 in action!
You can watch the full breakdown of how we achieved zero-AST execution, extreme speeds, and cross-platform compatibility right here:

📖 More than just docs: A complete learning hub
One of the biggest challenges with older technology is that the old forums, tutorials, and documentation are slowly disappearing from the web. To fix this, we didn't just build an engine; we built a comprehensive, modern manual.
Whether you are a veteran migrating a legacy enterprise app or a modern developer wondering what ASP even is, the manual has you covered. It features:
The Basics: A complete, friendly refresher on fundamental Classic ASP concepts.
The Modern Extensions: Detailed, copy-pasteable examples on how to use our new native Go objects directly inside your VBScript. You'll learn how to parse APIs with G3JSON, fetch external resources with G3HTTP, and even render Markdown to HTML instantly using G3MD.
Containerization: Step-by-step guides on using our Docker containers so you can containerize your 20-year-old apps in seconds.
Real-time CLI: Instructions on how to use our interactive command-line interface. You can actually write, test, and learn ASP snippets in real-time, right from your terminal!
🤯 Eating our own dog food
Here is my favorite part: The manual itself is a Classic ASP application. If you visit the link below, you aren't just reading static files. That entire documentation site is currently running live in production, powered natively by the AxonASP engine, sitting securely behind an Nginx reverse proxy on a Linux server. It's fast, stable, and proves exactly what this architecture is capable of handling in the real world.
🔗 Explore it yourself
I'd love for you to watch the video, poke around the docs, and try it out. Let me know what you think of the architecture in the comments!
