The JWIG programming language is a Java-based high-level language for development of interactive Web services. It contains an advanced session model, a flexible mechanism for dynamic construction of XML documents, in particular XHTML, and a powerful API for simplifying use of the HTTP protocol and many other aspects of Web service programming.
JWIG was mentioned here before, but now there's a TOPLAS paper (Aske Simon Christensen, Anders Moeller, and Michael I. Schwartzbach, Nov. 2003) so I thought I might mention it once more.
I don't think the guys discussing events and continuations are going to be very impressed by this, but the paper reflects the sad state of web programming (the bottom line: most people are still using the CGI model).
