>A "people actually used this" framework that had Rhino at its core (well, in one of many ways of using it) was Apache Cocoon (which was maybe more by-default based in XSL/T), only they did something almost ridiculously clever: as Rhino had full support for continuations, they didn't need "callback hell" (or async/await) and could even support pseudo-synchronous code that could block on the user (such as a function which sent the user a form and returned the user's selection, possibly hours later) by storing the continuation state in the user's session.
Wow! I'd only dabbled in Rhino back in the day so this is a neat little bit of history. Teleports me back to when this stuff felt fun...
