IMHO you should use OCaml for web projects. Dream is great for small websites and RESTful servers. Ocsigen is ... astonishing. I would definitely recommend taking a look at it.

After over 25 years of using Vim exclusively I'm completely unable to work on a computer without it.

OCaml is a horse...

Can't confirm that. In the 90s encodings were a nightmare. ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, CP1252, IBM850, ... If you tried to build a website with an upload form, you'd get the most bizarre encodings and there was no way to reliably distinguish them. I'm not an English native, my world is full of umlauts and s-z ligatures. Things got A LOT better in the last years, thanks to Unicode encodings.

These errors were much more common before Unicode encodings were in broad use. Unicode pretty much solved this.

I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats
And the fascists have the outfits
But I don't care for the outfits
What I care about is music
And the communists have the music

You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.

I just wrote down simplified versions of my scripts. Then I clicked the wrong button to exit the markdown preview and now it's all gone. I'll have to drink a beer now, sorry. If you have any specific questions, I'll answer them gladly.
