- e12e 11y agoLooking at the course page, it does indeed look like meteor is a good fit; it appears that if the course was from the late 90s it would be 2 parts html, 1 part css and 1 part cgi. But for a little higher level I always liked web2py[1] - it always felt like they managed to balance bundling/simplicity with proper documentation that build confidence in what is (and is not) included: like having a db schema accompanying the section on built-in auth[2]. But it certainly fails the test of "just one language". And it appears their chosen host (pythonanywhere) need to fresh up their SNI/SSL handling.

- tim333 11y agoI like web2py too though there don't seem to be too many people using it. Comparing to things like Meteor and Rails it's striking how it's remained backward compatible and much the same since it was launched 8 years ago.
