Seaside

Seaside provides a layered set of abstractions over HTTP and HTML that let you build highly interactive web applications quickly, reusably and maintainably. It is based on Smalltalk, a proven and robust language that is implemented by different vendors. Seaside has been ported to every major version of Smalltalk, but they use the Pharo flavour which is a fork of Squeak.

Advantages over other technologies

Many of today's frameworks, such as PHP, ASP, JSP or Zope, fail to provide a high-level abstraction over how pages are linked. Indeed, a web application has to model control flow.
