#2"This program was developed over the past 7 years just by me. 5 years in part-time and 2 years full time, living off my savings and spending almost all of them, just to accomplish this dream."
Great story. Thumbs up!
But have you ever asked a question: "why there is no competition in C++ web frameworks?"
And I personally wouldn't use framework which is not open-sourced, no matter what technology is it using.

#4There's already Wt: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/
Wt is setup the way that a C++ developer would expect to write web applications. TouchIdeas seems to be set up the way a web developer would expect to write C++.

MySite from touchideas.com is a MVC framework with an ORM.
It has all the features of other big products (check the site for a feature comparison).
Like: MVC, Web services (JSON, XML), ORM, database access / connection pooling, caching (memory, disk, distributed), session data with automatic serialization, internationalization / localization, view template engine, custom memory allocator (no delete needed), and many others.

#6Uh...why?
I mean the idea is interesting and all (in theory - I didn't download the framework), but I gotta ask why you'd want to do this? C++ is appropriate and excellent for many problem domains...what is it about web development that should cause it to be added to that list?
Put another way: a lot of smart people have been making very good web apps for a while without using C++. Why is it that you're the first one to see that this domain is somewhere C++ will excel in, and what is it that you see that others don't that lead you to believe this?
I'm not saying that you're automatically wrong (great innovations tend to come from people who buck the existing mentality), but when you introduce something as distinctive and thought-provoking/dogma-challenging as this, you gotta provide more of a sales pitch than one table which says you're as good as Hibernate.

So that's good .. but all the other products have those features too.
So what does yours do that the others don't do? If it's C++, maybe its faster?

#9If you need to beef up your hacker cred, this is the way to go. But as Martin Fowler said: "It's been a long time since I used C++. But it hasn't been long enough."

#10My first question is... why? There are so many well proven, excellent web frameworks in modern languages. Why would anyone choose this over Django, Spring, ASP.NET MVC, etc. etc.
