I like the idea of a new framework, using python 3 but that's not the most important. These days if we want to attract developers to our projects we also need to have an API, and separated front end and back end. web2py is great for the backend. The DAL is fantastic, and every time I get close to an ORM I appreciate it even more. After trying out ractive for myself, I really like Massimo's idea of integrating web2py and ractive. So I would love to see a new framework, if we can work on a clear upgrade path that would take existing web2py apps to the new framework. It's much easier to port a web app than a framework, on which many web apps rely. I think we should release the web2py dev team from the chains of backwards compatibility once every few years. If there is a new framework based on the DAL and the other good stuff from web2py, but also using ractive and other technologies and good ideas suggested on this list, then porting our web apps would take a reasonable effort, and it would be well worth it.
