At long (way too long) last, I’ve gone back to OCaml and completed enough of the re-re-re-re-rewrite that we can blog again. Comments now work too :).

If you want the gritty details, check out the colophon.

I’m definitely happier in OCaml than Lisp, although I’m not sure what I think of Eliom. It has many good features, but I like being close to the actual URLs when I build web services. Django is good at that, with request dispatch handled through a list of regexps which map to view functions. It doesn’t offer Eliom’s transparent, type-checked URL-building functionality, but does have its benefits. I might be able to refactor my Eliom code to get much of that, though (although the simple regexp-extraction is a bit harder).
