Is Seaside still a valid option?

Question

Seaside just released a release candidate for the upcoming 3.0 version, so it appeared on my radar again. As I\'m currently pondering what web framework to use for a future

Answer 1

1. Javascript is awesome but being capable of dealing with complicated workflow in a clean cheap way in the server side (as Seaside allows you to) is preventing it to become obsolete. Economy and utility are things that gives return in the short and long run. But telling this in the abstract has no value at all. You should be talking about a precise application and deciding if seaside is part of your bunch of competitive advantages to form an equation that rocks (and knowing why).
2. About scaling workload with Seaside, the short answer is that you can scale it like hell yah (for the long answer check my answer here: Does Seaside scale?).
3. too unanswerable man :) rty a variation of what you're really trying to ask

I think the best thing you can do is a prototype of something in a weekend.

If you can do a prototype in two days and you can capture some attention and you enjoyed the developing experience of doing it with seaside then you'll have the foundation of your next thing.

It costs only your time (you can publish in an amazon server).

BTW, this week I've heard about a startup that made its prototype by hand (was everything static and they processed stuff manually). Pretty amazing and crazy and cheap. When they felt that they had enough traction on the idea (which the had) they implemented the app (with whatever tech, I'm sure is no challenge for a seaside developer)
