The issues you mention are all alleviated by the stateless continuations which do not store state on the server and allow various ways of closing off the session from simply having the URL.

The documentation discusses the features of the Web framework, many of which have to do with its unique aspects. As you can see in this post, all normal Web programming is possible and easy, but there's very little special to say about it, because it's just a normal program.

"It's just normal" is a thing that I think is good to communicate. Being able to use Racket to write web apps in ways that wouldn't be unfamiliar to Node devs makes the Lispy thing seem less weird and intimidating.
