i have stumbled upon a very promissing web framwork for erlang. nitrogen, altough very young (first release was around December 2008), it seems exactly what i have looking for. it actually bring the erlang into the web, allowing to develope a true erlang based web app.
nitrogen have several appealing features. the framwork support ajax/comet, which is absolutely a shame how easy it ease to use. it allows defining html templates, with ‘holes’ in it to insert content from the erlang source. but the real benefit is the ability to write those ‘holes’ in erlang modules. those ‘holes’ are filled with elements which are parallel to html structures, and because you are using erlang sytax to describe them, you can use the erlang pattern matching and messaging system in it.
