aye ok settle down, let's just see the code please
The code is a mouse wheel scroll down.
Mostly able to because Guile's web server is standard, and if you need to bypass the framework, you can rather easily.
It's more than fast enough for most people's needs. Flexible, because Scheme, and Artanis' design will be familiar to all the Flask/etc devs.
About Artanis itself... It looks really cool! Scheme is such a nice language to code and hack with; but, how safe would it be to expose it directly?
I see they are dogfooding on the Guix packages website, so... I'm guessing it's pretty well tested.
If you have really good Scheme programmers, who know their system, and built it competently, it's probably safer to expose that than your average conventional system.
(Example: A system in Scheme was the first to get a particular certification for sensitive data hosting on cloud servers. Partly because the very small team that developed it knew the stack inside and out, and could do whatever needed to be done, in a smart way.)
(Meanwhile, say, a consulting firm-led team who got a contract for a comparably complex system, and billed for 10 or 100 times the seat-warmers, with huge and ridiculously complex stacks they didn't understand... would just flounder, focus on appearances in sprint tasks, and churn out things implemented in poor ways, and with a large number of vulnerabilities, and probably take a lot longer before they could deliver a system that would survive the first day of use.)
If you're defining a Web server route handler, it's reasonable to do it as you would in most languages, like this package's example:
(get "/hello/:who"
(lambda (rc)
(format #f "<p>hello ~a</p> " (params rc "who"))))
(define-http-get-route ("/hello/" who)
(format #f "<p>hello ~a</p> " who))

“ GNU Artanis was Certificated as Awesome Project at 2013 Lisp in summer projects “
so i guess this is not news?

Does it matter? Despite the name of the site, not everything that is posted/discussed here needs to be "news". Far from it, in fact.
