Show HN: An open-source engine in Golang to run Classic ASP on any OS

lucasguimaraes Tuesday, February 03, 2026

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called AxonASP to bring cross-platform support to Classic ASP. I still believe the "old" ASP model has value due to its incredibly low barrier to entry and ease of use, so I decided to rewrite the runtime environment using Go with some help of AI, as I'm not an expert developer.

This allows legacy apps (or new simple ones) to run on Linux or macOS without needing Windows Server or IIS.

I’m sharing this here because I want to make this a robust tool for the community. If you are a Go developer, I’d love your help optimizing the engine. I’m also specifically asking for feedback on security — if you spot anything risky in how I’m handling the execution or file access, please let me know so I can patch it.

It’s open source and ready for some testing: https://github.com/guimaraeslucas/axonasp

Feedback is welcome!
