Re: Rebel With A Cause

Very nice writeup!  The lisp world could use more of these.  Maybe some
room could be made on common-lisp.net to store such things?

A few questions:

1. You mention Smalltalk.  Have you done much web development in
Smalltalk?  How would you compare it to lisp for this kind of work?

2. How do you make modifications to the site?  Do you connect to the
live server and work in the repl or do you do a more conventional
release cycle?

3. You mention that it took some time to figure out how to make the best
use of the prevalence layer.  Can you elaborate on this?  How do you
handle running out of memory?

4. Was your experience with PAServe positive?  Any gotchas?

Anyway, thanks for the detailed review.
