Ask HN: Why am I still writing server-side code?

We have that in iKnode. You can create your own logic and access it through the REST service. You can even upload your own assemblies as well.

You can see the screenshot here:

* Editor: http://iknode.com/images/tour/appeditor.png

* Assembly Upload: http://iknode.com/images/tour/asmupload.png

You can create your application that becomes a service endpoint and then just call your logic.

You can call your application using a REST POST like this:

https://api.iknode.com/Applications/execute/<application...

And in the body just put your parameters:

{ parameters: "{ myParam1: myValue1, myParam2: myValue2 }" }

Do you support any .NET language or just C#? I am personally looking for something that can support a lisp, there is a lisp for the .NET VM but I don't know how active the community is for it.

Right now we only support C# in the Editor, but assemblies can be implemented in any language as long as it is CLS Complaint.

We are planning to support IronPython and IronRuby in the future. In the case of Lisp, we looked at Clojure, which can run on top of the CLR. But we have no plans for it so far.
