#5RoutingHTTPServer[1] is nice lightweight library on top of CocoaHTTPServer[2], which behaves a little like Sinatra.

You might be too young. Webobjects were all the rage amongst hipsters in the second part of the 90s. I was eighteen and worried about that, fortunately C-shell, ASP, Perl and PHP came to save us.

You could use apple script instead of perl for CGI scripts

You can, but it somehow manages to be even worse than ordinary apple script.

#9Not entirely related (though I think someone actually is working on a web framework for it): ObjFW [1][2] is an Objective-C framework and runtime that provides Cocoa-like classes and methods, but with more open-sourceness and portability. It even runs on Raspberry Pi!

#10If I was to develop some web framework in Objective-C I will at least try to mimic the WebObjects framework which has some great concept behind it.
The main grief against WebObjects that should be avoided is that the framework layer to access the database aka EOF (Enterprise Objects Framework) was never designed to use a connection pool nor work nicely in a multi-threaded environment.
Sadly Apple stopped the development of that web solutions years ago and kept it for itself... I heard from various folks at Apple that there are still a few engineers improving it and it is being used a lot for iTunes. WebObjects got some bad reputation from many people that have no clue on how it works and citing that WebObjects can't even support database update and this why the Apple Online Store is often offline when Apple release a new product. This is total BS of course, since take the iTunes AppStore which serve the content for all stores: music, apps, books, movies, etc... And you barely see that iTunes Store is offline.
WebObjects was a great technology but Apple decided to keep it for itself.
