Continuation-based Web Framework for CL
Saturday, November 22, 2003
John Wiseman (lemonodor) mentions that Marco Baringer is woking on a Common Lisp continuation-based web framework called Uncommon Web. The key features are:
- Continuation-based page flow control (implemented with closures) and "regular" url<->function mapping
- Component-oriented UI generation will (when such components exist) allow for easy re-use of user interface elements
- Programmer-friendly HTML generation via macros
- Designer-friendly HTML generation via templating
- Support for mod_lisp and portableaserve backends
- Portable (but not yet ported) across implementations and operating systems (currently supports OpenMCL 0.13 on PPC and CMUCL 18d on Linux)
- BSD license
