| What | '''jimhttp''' (name subject to change) |
| Where | https://github.com/dbohdan/jimhttp |
| Description | A web microframework prototype meant to be like [http://www.sinatrarb.com/%|%Sinatra] and [http://flask.pocoo.org/%|%Flask] written in pure [Jim Tcl]. Provides a rough implementation of the HTTP protocol as well as routing, templates, [JSON] generation and parsing, an HTML [domain-specific language%|%DSL] and persistent storage powered by [SQLite3].|
| Platforms | Likely all supported by Jim Tcl's [http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/extensions/%|%aio]. |
| Prerequisites | The latest Jim Tcl from the [https://github.com/msteveb/jimtcl%|%Git repository]. The current stable release (Jim Tcl 0.75) won't do. |

Will there be a "tclhttp" written in Tcl?

[dbohdan] 2014-09-30: It's not a goal for me for now (especially since there are already web frameworks for Tcl) but I would welcome a compatibility patch that makes the code work in both. Porting should be pretty straightforward except for the use of static variables (though static variables can be emulated with namespaces, e.g, by mapping variable `varName` to `$procName::$varName`).

Edit: wording.
