Well besides the fun of hacking around and building little HTTP servers, I could see this being useful if you want to save money by running fewer instances of your HTTP service. For instance, if you have a widely deployed python webservice that isn't scaling well, you could rewrite it in C++ with very little boilerplate using proxygen's httpserver.
It's early stages for the proxygen open source project. Maybe further down the road we'll provide off-the-shelf binaries, but we think the library is already interesting enough to warrant a release.
