I also enjoyed the paper by Jason Hunter. It gives an excellent historical
perspective to the rise of the model view controller paradigm with Servlets
and JSP. Thanks Jack.

Interesting site. It includes a pointer to a paper by Jason
Hunter on the weaknesses of JSP vs. "template engines" like
the TeaServlet.
Tea looks like an interesting language, as well. It gets points
for defining a "foreach" construct, and for translating itself
into a Java servlet. It loses points for making "&" the
string-concatenation operator when Java uses "+". Personally,
I think "&" would probably have been the better choice for
Java -- but not by enough to live with the compatibility problems
when I'm working with both languages.
But mostly, I think it's worth keeping in mind that this is a
"better JSP" solution. I suspect that the amount of "static"
HTML we generate will be so small that JSP isn't really useful
to us anyway. Simple servlets will probably do nicely. (If that
perspective changes, and we are tempted to use JSP, then the
Tea system will definitely merit a closer look.)
