Will ADA give rise to compiled code websites?

Will ADA give rise to compiled code websites?

I think this could be a breakthrough!!!

break the idea that compiled code can't be used ona website!

Esp with www.prevayler.org style db instead of postgresql.

It's always been possible from cgi onwards.

For instant this site, http://cbsg.sf.net , is using for sure compiled code :-)

I have been running Ada compiled websites for many years now so have many others. In fact I have won out many accounts using exactly the pitch that I would be offering their site in a secure executable form written in Ada.

The Rails like Ada framework I wrote and used for many of these sites I have never released publicly except to a few for various reasons (perhaps that may change at some point), but I have a new framework I will release in the next month or so for writing compiled web apps ( examples of web apps vs web pages - http://depts.alverno.edu/cil/basic/webapps/webappexamples.html).

Just to get you thinking... It allows you to develop fully interactive applications using only _Ada_ (no need to ever touch  JS or HTML) in a browser with a framework work that is very similar in nature to GWindows or GtkAda. The beauty of this is that with little work additional HTML/JS libraries can be bound to Ada to extend the framework, no reason Ada shouldn't take advantage of the de facto GUI platform of today and many years to come in a safe secure way and with out the taint of JS for serious app development :)

This is not for developing corporate websites, but rather "applications" where the browser is your rendering engine instead of Win64 or Gtk+. Such apps can easily be run on a local connection for full speed GUIs or remotely if desired that are completely cross platform and can use truly native controls or completely custom look and feel.
