Web Language

Webl, a.k.a the Compaq WebLanguage, is a scripting language for programming web applications. It's a small prototype-based language with some support for modules.

It has a very nice markup algebra for manipulating and navigating around structured text, and service combinators to manage communicating with unreliable remote sites.

This implementation runs on a JavaVirtualMachine and can call out into Java libraries.

Perhaps this page should be renamed CompaqWebLanguage?. "Web language" is generally something like PHP, ColdFusion, etc.
