Weblocks development and support is quite active as you will see when you browse the messages in this group and the commit log at Bitbucket. Newly found bugs are usually fixed within days. Work on new features and documentation has been slow in the last few months, but that shouldn't be a problem if you seriously want to make the effort to learn and use Weblocks. People have built complex public sites with Weblocks. As for Lisp itself you will find a lot of friendly people helping you on Freenode's #lisp and lispforum.com. > The weblocks website seems to have been down for at least 24 hours now, > which is scary to me. That's got nothing to do with Weblocks itself, actually. I had to restart the site's server several times in the last few days and just forgot to start the site this time. Yeah, I really should put that on auto. > Alien technology.. is it really that awesome? It is. You hardly ever want to go back. ;) Weblocks makes you feel you're taking the most effective path for most of them time, and you don't get to repeat yourself often. There are missing features but you will get all the help you need to add them here.
