Some comments on Continuation-based Web Frameworks
Monday, October 13, 2003
Blaine Buxton has been using the Smalltalk Seaside web framework and has some favorable comments to make about both Seaside (specifically) and continuation-based web frameworks:
"I've been using Seaside for every bit of 2 days now and I added major functionality to the SBlog challenge today. To say that I am amazed is putting it mildly. What I did today would have taken me hundereds of lines of Java/Struts code (not to mention all of the damn config files I would have had to change) instead it only took a few lines of Smalltalk. Now, most of this power was from the Seaside framework and how it operates. But, still it coupled with Smalltalk is unstoppable!!!! I'm completely sold on continuation web frameworks now (not that I wasn't before). The code is more concise and makes more sense. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with web services again. "
