What is it?
The Kanamit Web Framework is a Lisp-based object-oriented web application framework.		 Why should I use it?
The Kanamit Web Framework presents the shortest path between a concept and a finished web application.		 Getting a taste of it

To serve mankind

The Kanamit Web Framework provides a simple and easy to use API to build cutting-edge web 2.0 applications in record time. It provides a powerful templating engine, a powerful persistence mechanism that runs on just about any relational database and an absolutely transparent environment to build your business logic.

Tam and LR, decided to put their knowledge of Lisp to serve mankind and offered a simple, beautiful but yet powerful solution to develop web projects.

These days, time to market can make or break a project. It's little comfort you are using the same technologies everybody else is using if everybody else take the same time to explore a new idea as you did. You need a better tool than your competitors, one they cannot rapidly duplicate. If it's beyond their understanding (ever tried to teach Lisp to the average PHP monkey?), all the better. And more - your code can tap and extend our vast library that comprises many real-world usage scenarios. It's like using alien technology - your competitors will be left scratching their heads, wondering how you got away with what appears to a major breakage of the laws of nature. It's a portable implementation. We got it running on several flavors of Lisp on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X and we are currently porting it to our faithful Symbolics 3600. We even got it running inside Emacs 22.

You should get a decent development environment. Emacs 22, Slime and GNU-Lisp are what we use, but if you really want to use Eclipse (some people compare it to Emacs) it should work.

You can also order our fine book here. It took a while to write, but we wanted it ready for the public launch of our project.

News

Two major announcements! 2008-03-31 23:42+0000
Our friends, and first customers, @ Linux New Media Brasil will issue, in a few hours, a press release regarding their new web portal and a very nice and juice surprise.

We did it: 2008-03-31 21:03+0000
We just completed setting up our project web-site on our new server and everything looks great. Sources tarball is also available. We apologize for the problems people have been reporting. It seems the CADR we had serving the site wasn't that fast after all.

Screencasts: 2008-03-31 18:39+0000
We captured a couple screencasts showing how to install and deploy the framework and how to create a simple Hello World application.

Emergency server upgrade: 2008-03-31 13:42+0000
We just had a surge of traffic and our server could not cope with it. We brought out one of our beefier machines and set it up as a cluster with the original server (The KWF knows clustering - ain't it cool?) and we are now doing some scalability testing.

A nice word of support: 2008-03-21 23:04+0000
Paul Graham, the master himself, just sent us an nice email to support our effort: " If Lisp is so great, why don't more people use it? I was asked this question by a student in the audience at a talk I gave recently. Not for the first time, either. Now, I have a great framework to show them!".

Just announced: 2008-03-02 11:11+0000
We are proud to announce our little creation to the world. The Kanamit Web Framework is feature-complete and is now being made available under GPLv3. Enjoy it!
