I think it depends on your requirements. HOP seems to be a language all by itself. How closely does what you want to do cleave to what they intend HOP for? Is it easy to extend for the web? Can you add arbitrary javascripting? The lisp frameworks are built on a general purpose language (compiled, even) and especially the CL ones have access to a vast range of libraries. I will say that writing widgets in weblocks has been a very nice experience overall, and if you are primarily interested in easy html- based widgets (and are still looking) also take a look at Seaside. >From what I can tell, Core Server has a way to "run" the same code on server and browser (but this may be fantasy on my part!). > > Any feedback is very much appreciated! > > I can only tell you that UCW seems to have been abandoned, but > there's another contender called WUI that seems to be similar to > Weblocks. UCW afaik has forked. One branch is now LoL (Lisp on Lines) and the other is the base for WUI. UCW/LoL focuses on the web-infrastructure for building apps, using ContextL heavily to implement features like user-tracking/history, whereas WUI leans more towards widgets and pre-built chunks. I may be wrong on this, but WUI seems focused on connecting to an SQL db, while weblocks is more biased towards an out-of-the-box persistence experience. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
