The least painful approach is (and always has been) to write the entire (e-commerce) (web) app in Smalltalk, specifically Squeak (or several forks like Cuis, Pharo). I once wrote an entire webshop with Stripe payments in a single afternoon that had the sophistication of the Apple Store. There is not one framework but several, some are mainly Smalltalk, some are more javascript wrappers or ported to javascript. I have omitted a lot of other 'Smalltalks in the browsers'. Another language would be LISP, like [9] in which HN itself is build. I'd love to demo some of these sophisticated front- and back-end frameworks, mail morphle at ziggo dot nl.
