I finally managed to work on the new webframework again and I am happy to report that the basics of server-side sessions now work.
Tomorrow I might or might not optimize the thing a bit and start introducing random UUIDs as primary keys as well as symmetric encryption with a key stored on visitors browsers.

@phryk New webframework? Sounds potentially interesting...

@alcinnz I started redoing my webframework from scratch about half a year ago.
This time without depending on flask and peewee.
I already got:
* URL routing
* something akin to flasks blueprints
* a "templating" engine using a tree of native python objects mapping 1:1 onto the resulting DOM
* an unfinished SQL generator with a syntax similar to peewee

@alcinnz The SQL generator is independent from actual database interaction – that's a layer on top of it that I'm currently hacking on, with sessions being the first thing to use it. :)

@alcinnz Also decided to go exclusively for postgres this time around because I want to use postgis for more powerful and performant map features and I really hope that won't bite me in the ass.^^

I haven't actually installed and played around with it yet, but from the docs it seems like it's essentially a couple thousand new functions for postgres.
Seems to include built-in support for map projections, all sorts of neat topological queries and even geometry simplification – all things where I'll be very glad if I'm able to outsource them to the DBMS. :P

@bhaugen If it goes badly, I'm sure you'll hear about it. 😂

We use a lot of Postgres but have not used posgis.

@phryk I enjoy using PostGIS!
Yeah, your webframework sounds a bit like Happstack ported to Python... I enjoyed using Happstack for my "Amphiarao" webpage debugger!
Adrian Cochrane
@phryk Certainly that templating language sounds a lot like Blaze!

@alcinnz The underlying engineering philosophy might be similar, but as with the previous framework, my goal is to have a tightly integrated solution for jsless DIY data journalism. :3

@alcinnz My inspiration was CL-WHO, the library I used way back when I was doing web stuff with Lisp.
The "templates" are essentially just nested constructor calls with some AST magic for more comfortable conditionals and loops.

Didn't even know gitea did rss^^

@phryk Thanks! Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't Blaze's inspiration too... I'm sure there'd be plenty of lispers coming over to Haskell!
As well as you have comprehensions available, which Python does, this should be a great strategy!
