I think scorp1us and I might be the only /.ers to have ever used witty?

I too use Wt (I'm the Debian packager)

Are you sure you are not confusing Wt with something else? Wt works with 2 MB of RAM.

Wt is the best one I have tried. I use the C++ version, although there is also a Java version (JWt).

What makes Wt unique is its approach: widgets. You develop web applications like you were developing desktop applications. Also, the API is Qt-like (but using Boost).

I gave up on Rails after I used Wt.

Want a virtualization console? Take Wt, libvirt and an HTML5 VNC client and you are done.

Need Active Directory authentication? Wt, Samba (or Windows APIs if you are on Windows), done.

Streaming? Wt, ffmpeg libraries, done.

Forgetting about bindings and being able to use the millions of C/C++ libraries out there was a huge relief.

Also, size: Rails, Django (and even PHP) just do not fit in an embedded environment. Wt does.

That depends on the impact that the frontend has on the whole system; if it's small, 9 hours optimizing the Python code might be more valuable than 90 learning C++ and a new framework.

The opposite is also true: being a C++ developer, I'd rather go with Wt than (re-) learn Rails, PHP or Django.

Sorry but no. With ASP.NET you still have the concept of page, session, etc very very present. With Wt, you don't. It makes a huge difference.

Obligatory reference to the Sokal Affair.

The Sokal affair, also known as the Sokal hoax,[1] was a publishing hoax perpetrated by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University. In 1996, Sokal submitted an article to Social Text, an academic journal of postmodern cultural studies. The submission was an experiment to test the publication's intellectual rigor and, specifically, to learn if such a journal would "publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if it (a) sounded good and (b) flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions."

Have you even looked in a dictionary? No, of course you have not!

> Wrong, punta is whore in spanish.

You meant "puta", not "punta". Like in English (bitch, whore, etc), there are many words in Spanish for that.

The "intelligent, vivacious woman" meaning is not in any dictionary. Not even in the Spanish Language Thesaurus!
