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
