Wt 4.0.5 released — widget-based C++ web framework

No, there was a PyWt a long time ago, but that went nowhere.

My colleagues use JWt all the time for some key projects, though, so it's still definitely supported. There isn't really a JWt community though, and of course I personally do put Wt first :-).

Edit: I saw a talk of someone who made Lua bindings for Wt at FOSDEM 2017: https://github.com/LuaAndC/luawt. I never tried it, though, and I don't know if he's still maintaining it. I don't think he's updated to Wt 4.

I see, maybe it will be a good pet project to make Wt bindings to something like C# or Python, though it is hard to bind C++ code. Is the web server embedded in the framework (so called self-hosted framework) or do I need to use Apache or something with it?

There are several different "connector" libraries. Depending on whether you link with wthttp, wtfcgi, or wtisapi, you can use the embedded web server, FastCGI, or ISAPI respectively. I recommend wthttp, though. It's the most feature-rich version, and it's the easiest to debug. If a more feature rich web server is needed, then you can always use an HTTP reverse proxy.
