GNU Artanis 0.2 released

Well, that part's easy: Guile's FFI is (for me at least) parsecs better than any other scripting language's. If I needed to glue together a bunch of library code to make a web application it's what I would turn to.

Guessing from the content I assume you mean zyga's posting.

Well, I'm not the target audience for Artanis, since it aims for a vertically integrated web framework (from database to client-side scripting). I detest client side scripting myself and won't thus impose that on my guests.

But I've been following its development, and Nala is doing a beautiful job. Artanis is well architected and Scheme/Guile is *fun* (yeah, eye, beholder, those things).

There was a time where the whole world was being rewritten to have the prefix "py": perhaps it was much busywork, but thanks to a fresh perspective, it brought about a couple of interesting things; Same with go and (especially) with Rust. I don't particularly care (about either), but I keep a curious and friendly regard on them. Especially Rust's inspiration in linear types... how is that working out in practice? All of that.

Just saying "meh, just another foo done in another programming language"... c'm on. We'd still be doing FORTRAN these days. It'd be boring and sad.
