Wt, C++ Web Toolkit

It looked as if a sort of a snowball effect occurred on the HN "new" page this afternoon. I laughed when I saw the third show up (see comment below).

I personally could never stomach doing web development on C or C++. The C++ source code to the CPoll-cppsp test [1] makes me cringe in fear (no offense, xaxaxa!) But if there are those willing to give it an honest go, I'm not going to criticize them. Caution them, as you have, that it may be a frustrating exercise? Sure.

That said, I think modern Java, Go, Scala, Erlang, Haskell, and Lua are all worth considering.

Have you looked at the sample code for Wt? I wouldn't describe it as beautiful, but it's closer to Java than that code.

You're right, that looks quite clean!

Still, C++ is not my particular cup of tea. That doesn't diminish my desire to see Wt and CppCMS added to our benchmark suite, though.

HN snowballs because folk will see links in a popular post and post those links.
