No, I didn't write it to solve use cases at all, but rather because I thought it would be awesome to write a web server in assembly. As the readme says, we all have moments where we do things we regret. Youthful† lapses in judgment.
If you git clone http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/.git you will see that I wrote most of it one weekend in 02013, removed the dependency on libc and added forking the next weekend, and tweaked it slightly over the next month and a half. Then in 02019 I added CSS and PDF to the mime-types list. So it's not, like, an ongoing project. It's just a program I wrote once, like most things in that directory.
I did just fix the documentation, though, because it was still claiming it was under 2000 bytes.
