This website tells me a lot about how it's "better" than the alternatives, but tells me nothing about what this even is. I've looked at it for a while, and I still can't figure it out. It mentions web servers, communication libraries, code parallelization, persistence layer... So what is it?

The manual explains it: http://gwan.ch/archives/gwan_linux.pdf

I like how it claims to be provably safer than other webservers but the two claims require reading the code.

I love opensource, but I really can't understand people whining about one guys closed-source program when most software+hardware around him is closed-source also. That's so blind hatted.

What? Almost the entire stack in every place I have worked, except a bank, has been open source software. And I don't think people are upset that it's not open source, they find it a joke that the author makes all these ridiculous claims and is closed source.
