I'm just not connecting with the rest of this thread; the argument about
how to design an HTML generator.  I look at that (the generation of text
document) as being entirely orthogonal to the questions of CGI (providing
an environment for executable content on the web).

What does everyone want to see in future Ruby on the web environments?  I
want high performance, single-process generalized cache, DB connection
pooling, a concise way to manipulate the virtual url tree, and a
templating system.  I also want a way to integrate or re-implement
(preferably the former) large chunks of the OpenACS application logic.

Mostly that means aolserver, which is why I'm writing ns_ruby.  But I
don't know what other Ruby developers want to work in.

Anyone?
