How does gnoga compare to www.happstack.com http://zotonic.com/ http://www.seaside.st/ http://revel.github.io/ ? I assume ada kicks pythons ass speed wise (pypy too?) The idea of letting ada worry about html and java script is sexy! Can gnoga use www.hypertable.org as the data store? or must one use memcached and postgresql? Java is clumsy but they use cassandra to speeds things up. Hypertable seems to be a free answer to cassandra.
