Ur/web looks very cool - I just skimmed through some of the documentation. I have often thought about creating my own web framework and writing a DSL using Gambit-C (probably by building on Blackhole, Sprock, etc.) Something with the ease of use simplicity of Sinatra.

Yeah, great documentation. It's rare to see such extensive documentation for a newly released project, and I must say I am enjoying reading through it.

Funny, just heard about LunaScript[1] the other day, and it seems they both make HTML/XML first class. Personally, I want to go the opposite way. I don't want to know about HTML or CSS being generated at all. Templates are a good first step, to separate logic and presentation, but I would prefer just to describe GUI widgets and callbacks. Django's forms are a nice step towards this type of thing, but I feel it can be taken farther.
