Have you tried the install version from WordPress.org as apposed to hosted WordPress.com version? I'm using it for my new company site agencycritique.com (in progress). I've been impressed with its flexibility and available plugins. Also, just about all the third party web 2.0 services that integrate with blogs have WordPress compatibility. Hi Brian.

Avi seems to have done some great work with Seaside using Smalltalk, but I personally think Ruby has beaten Smalltalk at its own game, and subjectively, I just don't like Smalltalk - the syntax, IDE requirement, etc. I think Avi is quoted as stating that Common Lisp would've been the superior language, but Smalltalk provided the better environment. I'm more interested in the best language than the best toolset at this point. JavaScript is a great language also (particularly if you don't have to deal with browser idiosyncracies), but it's doubtful that it can compete with the power and speed of Common Lisp, Scheme or Haskell. If you're correct in the requirement of a Java VM for server side JavaScript implementations, I would be even less interested in pursuing it. I think the good things that JavaScript has come from Scheme, so why not go to the source directly? :) I’m actually extremely pleased with Ruby, so although I’m planning to “reinvent the wheel by writing my own blog software”, I’d prefer to limit the technology choice to something that has the potential to surpass Ruby (or simply do it in Ruby).

Can you remind me? Sounds like there are decent continuation-based frameworks for both Javascript and Smalltalk. Well, at least I hear the Smalltalk one is decent. Not sure how mature the JS one is. Maybe one downside of server-side JS is the fact that the leading implementations all require a Java VM? That's one reason I've been slow to investigate it.
