Re: not all web applications have to scale - true, but I haven't worked on
one of those since about 1998 (this is an analog to Rich Hickey's statement

Not every web application has to scale. I think that continuation based
stuff rocks for adminstration interfaces.
The main benefit with continuation based stuff, is that it's possible to
build something that is more application like, so that one can avoid
building wizards, and having to split up s

All of the persistent classes in Clojure, including continuations
claim to implement Serializable
Not yet. :) You bring up some good points that I hadn't thought of
yet. The itch I was scratching was how to easily write a web
application for a limited number of users. I wanted to make that task
cheap enough to be something a single programmer could do very
quickly.
OTOH, your comments have spa

This does indeed look cool, but here's the problem I have with all of the

I finally got time to find the bug in my web application framework.
Here is the code to the framework:

And here is a very simple sample app:

The top level app is defined like this:
