So many red flags in the abstract alone. It's no surprise that the article itself looks like a middle school project.

You sound very confused.

How do you screw up tapping with two fingers?

Using `display: table` is a great way to lay out your elements in a grid while keeping your HTML semantic.

Any chance of doing an internship? I'm doing my master's in maths in Berlin and have experience with development in Python and Clojure.

Are you serious?

No, that's not what he's saying... and I don't know if you realize this, but the author, P.J. Eby, is the same guy who wrote the original WSGI spec.

I agree with you, but Pump is not a web framework. You are not supposed to write your application with Pump. Picasso is a framework I built on top of Pump ( https://github.com/adee…

I'd like to do that, but I'm afraid of how much time and effort it would take. I really just wrote Pump/Picasso to use at our new startup, Beagle ( http://beagleapp.com ). I was ex…

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not willing to accept that WSGI couldn't be this simple. Pump's specification is modeled on Ring for Clojure ( https://github.com/mmcgrana/ring ), and …

Here is an example of a thread where it's discussed: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/web-sig/2009-November/threa...

Pump aims to replace WSGI entirely. That is, I believe it does a better job of what WSGI was intended to do. I understand your point that web developers don't necessarily work with…

The problems with start_response have been discussed at length in Web-SIG. As far as I know, they're planning to remove it from the spec in WSGI 2.0 (whenever that's published).

# Pump def app(request): return { "status": 200, "headers": {"content_type": "text/plain"}, "body": "Hello World"}

Yes, Pump was heavily inspired by Rack and especially Clojure's Ring ( https://github.com/mmcgrana/ring ).

I hadn't seen this, looks interesting.

Building web apps! Basically, it's meant to be a replacement for WSGI. In my view, the problems with WSGI are that it has an unpythonic API (see: start_response and environ), and t…

Surprised he didn't link to Reichenstein's essay on the topic: http://www.informationarchitects.jp/en/100E2R
