This is great! I never expected so much enthusiasm for proposal. Thank you for the very comprehensive notes. I added them to the wiki: <https://github.com/schemeweb/wiki/wiki/Dispatcher-Router-API> Can you and Peter compare your dispatcher designs to find out if it would make sense to combine them? > I hope this is helpful. It certainly helps draw from a larger pool of designs. This insight from Alan Perlis has been my favorite programming quote for years: "Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis." > I'm excited by the idea of standardizing web request handlers.

It ought to motivate Scheme implementors to brush up their web server implementations/bindings :) And would be instrumental in drawing more programmers into Scheme. It's so gratifying to get your code to serve up a web page right away and then take the exact same code and put it on a public-facing cloud server.
