I'd have to say that Dissident sounds very cool, and webmachine may be a great match for its backend. Webmachine has just been released under the Apache License v2.0, so you should be able to "do what you want with it", for the most part. I see you've already found Justin's post about it (on blog.therestfulway.com) - he'd be the right person to help sort things out, if needed. Hey, Chris.

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind us using webmachine as the backend and putting our AJAX head design concept on top of webmachine?

Mochiweb and Erlyweb are pretty difficult to compare, actually. While Erlyweb is something of a webapp framework, Mochiweb is more tools for building a webapp framework. In fact, Erlyweb could really be reworked to run *on top of* Mochiweb, and such work has been attempted once or twice. We've chosen Mochiweb instead of Erlyweb mainly because we've made choices about technology we'd like to use that are in disagreement with Erlyweb's defaults. We use a different templating engine (not ErlTL), a different storage system (not ErlyDB/ErlSQL.), and a different application structure (not URI-chunks == module and function names). There were reasons for each of those decisions as well, but once those decisions were made, it didn't make sense to try to bend Erlyweb toward them. Hi, Abhijith.

I've been hearing a lot about Mochi Web. Could you give me an insight into how erlyweb differs from mochiweb and also, why you chose MochiWeb over Erlyweb. Thank you for sharing this.

At the moment, yes, mnesia is involved, but only at the node-local storage level. All of the internode communication, redundancy, etc. is handled by other code we've written. In fact, mnesia is only the latest mechanism we've used for disk storage - we've been through flat files and BDB before it. Mnesia's convenient because it "speaks native" in Erlang, but it's not a required part of this system. Hey, Zamous. At the moment, yes, mnesia is involved, but only at the node-local storage level.

If so can you explain more about it? Thanks Is your distributed storage system implemented with mnesia by chance? If so can you explain more about it?
