"The most popular web server for CL, Hunchentoot hasn't been touched (based on the darcs repo anyway) since Tue, 24 Aug 2010." That statement is just untrue, take a look yourself. https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/commits/master Also there is an active community in Japan from what I can gather from github.com They done cl-annot[1], which is a way to annotate functions with the @ syntax from python. Clack[2], the WSGI-equivalent for cl. And the Caveman[3] and Ningle[4] webframeworks.

There is also a lib called 'HTML-TEMPLATE' ( http://weitz.de/html-template/ ) which is IMO a bit easier to use than CL-WHO. Hunchentoot has been updated, it is just maintained by somebody else now AFAIK ( https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/downloads ). I do remember that there was a version (1.2?) that had some backward compatibility problems and that was last year. Try quicklisp ( http://www.quicklisp.org/ ) for all your lib needs, it is a nice lib repository and it is very up to date (though still beta).
