At least he's planning on putting his money where his mouth is. If he creates this framework, more power to him!

- stcredzero 17y agoThe VisualWorks Smalltalk Server Pages framework already does this. SSP results in web pages as compiled machine language. The HTML file is translated into a new Smalltalk method, the tags become Smalltalk message sends, and the HTML between the dynamic tags just become accesses into an Array. Because Array access is optimized and JITed as machine code, the only message sends are due to the dynamic tags. When the webpage/method is JITed, you have a web page compiled into machine code.
- mikeryan 17y agoI believe the framework discussion is of a compiled C "Rails" type MVC framework, I'm not familiar with Smalltalk Server Pages but from an initial google search it doesn't seem to be on par with what rails provides?
- stcredzero 17y agoYou're right that SSP is more like ASP/JSP, and not like Rails. But the same idea can be used with a more comprehensive web framework and with a language that has a really good JIT, like LuaJIT, or maybe IronPython/IronRuby.
- fauigerzigerk 17y agoSounds pretty much like JSP.
