It seems to me that there's more web activity now than there's been in several years. This might just be because I've got a contract doing some web-work for a change, but...
In the Tcl arena, we've got: tclhttpd - old, reliable, stable and obsolete (but I use it). wub - new, snazzy, up-to-date and fluid (I use this one, too). rivet - stable, integrated with the most-used server (yeah, I use this one). ?others? - I probably missed a dozen or two that I don't use. Would it be reasonable to do a compare-and-contrast panel at the Tcl conference? Would anyone be willing to step up and defend their turf? FWIW: I use tclhttpd when I've got a fairly simple task that doesn't need anything fancy. I used tclhttpd to set up sample exams for my students when I taught Tcl at EMU - a separate tclhttpd (and port) for each exam, was trivial. I use wub for the Tcl Community Association pages mostly because the pages are co-hosted with the wiki.tcl.tk, and that's wub. It's nice in that it supports lots of new stuff. Less nice because it changes and grows. I'm using rivet for a commercial task because Apache is solid and nobody questions using it. Rivet isn't moribund like Tclhttpd, but it's not so fluid that I worry about my code breaking with the next release. Happy Tcl'ing, Clif -- ...
