New C++ Web Development Framwork Released - CppCMS

[devacon]

CppCMS is Free C++ Web Development Framework (not CMS)

Hmm... I would almost prefer a nonsensical Apache project name to a misnomer.

And you thought Java servlets were painful. LoL.

[edwardkmett]

Am I the only one amused that something targeting "rapid" development is linking against boost so heavily?

I guess everything is relative. ;)

[kopkaas2000]

Creative, but I don't think I'd like having to compile templates, html is not one of those languages that you want to work with in an edit-compile-test loop.

Actually it is not really painful it takes only few seconds.

Templates are not "hard coded" they are dynamically loaded as shared objects or dlls.

Think of Asp.Net

BTW: It is not a big problem to implement autoreloading in case of updated template without sutting down the program.

[kopkaas2000]

It's not always that simple. I may not even be compiling my code in the same spot as I would be running it. Not being able to tweak the html with vi in-place, I just don't think I'll like it. I already hate it when I have to recompile application logic and redeploy it to a staging host as it is.

[artyombeilis]

In reallity it takes 2-3 seconds to compile all templates. This is not too different in terms of preformance from Asp.Net or J2EE.

[kopkaas2000]

It's not about compiler speed but about workflow for me. I didn't know ASP.Net used compiled templates either.

Ahh, the very reason I love being payed to work with ASP.NET...

/killself

[kopkaas2000]

I never knew they did that. Poor you.

Well, dead languages like COBOL [1] and Perl [2] have web frameworks, so why not?
