I've been thinking along these lines for a while. For python-based, I think your toolkit is a good stake in the ground. I think Lua-based is very interesting.

I've been thinking along these lines for a while. For python-based, I think your toolkit is a good stake in the ground. I think Lua-based is very interesting. openresty is a great choice for replacing the simple glory of what Apache/PHP once was. Although, Lapis (moonscript/Lua) adopts "Web-MVC", the way its coded is a toolkit of un-opinionated libs. You can skip the MVC stuff and just have a clean set of libs for throwing things in a directory and getting your bang for very few bucks. http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://moonscript.org/ http://moonscript.org/ http://openresty.org/ http://openresty.org/
