Ask HN: What are the most innovative web frameworks?
There doesn't seem to be nearly as much discussion of new web frameworks as there is of programming languages and databases.
I've heard of or used Webmachine, Hop, Opa, etc. What are some others and which are your favorites and why?
- lazyjones 14y agohttp://zotonic.com/ http://zotonic.com/ is pretty innovative (the event-driven model e.g.) and so is http://www.helma.org/ http://www.helma.org/ (elegant, server-side JS, heavily used by large websites like orf.at for many years, but not widely known).
- visualcsharp 14y agoI happen to like my routing framework, JuniorRoute (http://projects.nathanalden.com/JuniorRoute http://projects.nathanalden.com/JuniorRoute). It ditches cumbersome MVC architecture for a much simpler front controller pattern.
- r4vik 14y agoMeteor is kind of nuts: https://github.com/meteor/meteor https://github.com/meteor/meteor, real time, database abstraction built right into the browser/js, no lag for saving as it uses background sync.

- joshcanhelp 14y agoI wish I had a reason to use Meteor because it looks like a lot of fun!
- dotborg 14y agovery cool debugging nightmare, if you like coding in text editor(vim, notepad etc.) and debugging with println`s, meteor is for you :)
- techwraith 14y agoThe Geddy framework for Node.js is doing some pretty cool things these days. It provides a good architecture for real time MVC apps. Yammer is using it for it's file uploads service. It's got a great website and it's docs aren't bad either. http://geddyjs.org http://geddyjs.org
