Weblocks - Three Weeks Later

As I mentioned earlier, Weblocks is a web framework written in Common Lisp. In the three weeks since the day of that post the demo application handled nearly 200,000 HTTP requests and hasn't had a single restart. These results, coupled with the fact that this was the very first public release of the software, made me very impressed with the way SBCL (and Lisp in general) have performed. I started the server on the VPS host, left the country, and came back three weeks later to find a 50MB log file that doesn't display a single hiccup. Even being a Lisp advocate, I didn't expect such flawless performance.

Details

Weblocks is now hosted at common-lisp.net. You'll find information on how to get started, a user manual that explains the basics of Weblocks architecture, reference documentation, support group, bug tracking, etc. Jump in and let me know what you think!
