Re: Web development

[tantalum]

this is what i use for web development:
* for static files, i use nginx and convert markdown to html using 
guile-commonmark, with an extension that allows calls to scheme code 
inside markdown (https://github.com/sph-mn/sph-web-publish) to generate 
some content like file listings
* for dynamically generated pages, i use nginx and scgi (like fastcgi 
but simpler, http://python.ca/scgi/protocol.txt, 
https://github.com/sph-mn/sph-lib/blob/master/modules/sph/scgi.scm) to 
call a guile procedure on request. the guile side uses this framework 
https://github.com/sph-mn/sph-web-app
* for serving generated files, i use the x-accel-redirect (x-sendfile) 
response header to instruct nginx to serve the file
* for example, the linked pages here http://sph.mn/other/utilities.html 
are generated on the fly with guile 3. guile is fast. some of the 
converters use external tools and have a long initial output delay for a 
yet unknown reason
