Tornado: FriendFeed's non-blocking Python web server is now open source

I've been looking for a good framework to begin serious web development on for someone coming from a decade-long career in desktop development (see the discussion at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=808191), and decided this release co-incides nicely with my newly-started quest and gave it a shot.

I realize Tornado isn't any different from the other Python frameworks with regards to coding style, etc. but the the fact that this framework comes complete with a web server means I don't have to worry about that part of the equation making developing Python-based webapps almost identical to developing a C++ library with one of the many HTML-based UI frontends :)

Having a great time playing around with it... almost done with a basic forum system built on Tornado + Storm (https://storm.canonical.com/).. I think I'm getting the hang of this whole web-development thing! :D

For a real different coding style, more like a desktop development, take a look at Nagare (http://www.nagare.org), a continuation and components based web framework. And it also comes with an integrated HTTP server (and a fastCGI one) ;)
