Common Lisp or Scheme for server-side?

I wonder if some functional languages are used for web development and which are most useful and supported with that goal?

Solution

  • PLT Racket has a web server- it's an up-to-date, actively developed Scheme offshoot, and may be something that you want to look into. Here's some documentation:

    There are a few StackOverflow threads that can provide some more answers to this:
