%X This paper introduces webpipes, a compositional web server
   toolkit written using the Go programming language as part of
   an investigation of concurrent software architectures. This
   toolkit utilizes an architecture where multiple functional
   components respond to requests, rather than the traditional
   monolithic web server model. We provide a classification of
   web server components and a set of type definitions based on
   these insights that make it easier for programmers to create
   new purpose\-built components for their systems. The
   abstractions provided by our toolkit allow servers to be
   deployed using several concurrency strategies. We examine
   the overhead of such a framework, and discuss
   possible enhancements that may help to reduce this overhead.
