I just can't stop writing articles - and this one is about Smalltalk no 
less...

We recently discovered Seaside, which is a Web Application Framework 
for Squeak Smalltalk, and it simply blew us away. That's why I wrote a 
short article about it:

'A Day At The Beach' describes our first exploration of the Seaside Web 
Application Framework for Squeak Smalltalk that offers a dramatic 
improvement in abstraction and productivity.

There is a link with Lisp though: the underlying concept that makes 
Seaside so special - using continuations to hide the request-response 
cycle of HTTP and present it as a natural linear flow
  - is actually a (re)implementation of concepts that originated in the 
Scheme community...

Enjoy,

Sven
