Hi, I'm in the process of learning Common Lisp, & I've chosen Weblocks as a framework to build a small-ish web app. Things look good so far - installation was easy with Quicklisp, and I've got a running skeleton app.
However, I've been warned off Weblocks by this post on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6366774/selected-tech-stack-for-web-application-criticism-comments/6376312#6376312 > Weblocks is a continuations-based web framework - it is a very old approach, > it should not be > used for developing modern web-applications. One person's comment isn't enough to make me switch frameworks; I've asked him for clarification & recommendations, & otherwise left it at that. However I thought I'd ask here: at a high level, what are the _disadvantages_ of continuation-passing? I presume the poster had some reservations or he wouldn't have posted what he did ... unless it's a fashion thing, in which case I certainly don't care. My real concern is that I'm hoping the app I'm building will be in service for many years, but it will probably have no more than 100K users with ~ 100 concurrent. So I'm in for the long haul rather than massive scalability or performance. But if he's right & Weblocks is an 'on the out' technology then maybe I _should_ change. Thanks in advance for any advice or feedback. Yours, Duncan Bayne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
