Re: [Chicken-users] Any decent web development framework

[Jörg F . Wittenberger]

There are many, each having it's own strength.  It really depends on
what you are looking for.

I'm using ball.askemos.org .  (Actually much of it I wrote.)

Now this was originally done in rscheme about 15yrs ago.  It's not
monolithic, but consists of communicating actors/agents (which may be
owned/controlled by different individuals, no central admin there).  In
addition to Scheme you may use XSLT with mixed/embedded with Scheme and
SQL.  Each agent has it's very own sqlite database.

But actually it never was designed to be a Web dev framework.  It was
meant to be a framework for "smart contracts".  Thus those agent, their
database (including sqlite3) etc. are stored in a Merkle tree and may be
replicated with byzantine fault tolerance in a network.  Each node
acting as registry and escrow, executing (Scheme) script and checking
the work of other nodes.

Much faster and older than Ethereum and ripple.  But done too early.
Completely unknown.
