# 2.4. Advantages of Caudium

- Stable multi-threaded programming (Roxen has been multi-threaded since 1994).

- Mostly written in an interpreted, object-oriented, language - Pike:

  - Easy to program and extend. Just imagine if you could code extensions to the Apache core in PHP or Perl.

  - No buffer overflows, segmentation faults or any other problems of that nature.

  - RealNetworks is still using Roxen 1.3 as their main web platform for its stability and speed.

- Low level API available for end-users.

- RXML tags.

- Lots of modules.

- Backwards compatible with Roxen 1.3.

- Different. If you are a Linux or BSD user for some time you already know the most used is not always the best.

- Caudium won't run under win32 (thus letting us more time for useful things). However some people are trying to port it using cygwin without code modification.

- Embedded PHP4 support.
