Re: [racket-users] Web server with x-expressions vs templates

2016-01-10 Thread Jay McCarthy
I always use x-expressions. I don't find it useful to look at the page
source in other editors (what I perceive as the main advantage of
templates), although I suspect if I worked with other people I would
find it more valuable.

Formlets and templates really have nothing to do with each. Formlets
are all about combining the parsing of requests with the generation of
responses in a systematic way. They are not about templating pages.

[racket-users] Web server with x-expressions vs templates

2016-01-09 Thread Marc Kaufmann
Hi all,

I was just about to start encoding my forms as formlets when I remembered that 
there are templates for web development. Do people advise using templates over 
x-expressions for web development with Racket, that is, what are most people 
using who do that kind of thing? After rereading it, my feeling is that 
templates are probably easier, and formlets can simply be implemented via 
templates.

Thanks,

Marc
