New web framework

Friday, August 4, 2006

Chris Double has been working on a new web framework in Factor. From his summary:

I’m working on a new web framework for Factor. My plan is to have web applications built as a collection of concurrent processes running on the server and the client browser. Processes on the server can send messages to the browser (using a ‘comet’ style connection) and vice versa.

Among other things, this includes a JSON parser/unparser, implemented using his own parser combinators library. Cool stuff.
