Web FrameWorks Unlimited

A feed of every major technical forum will present atleast one framework a day. Smalltalk supposed to be "The OOPS Language" has been long proclaimed dead. But every modern OOP language claims its existence to smalltalk and no book on Java fails to pay a "rich" tribute to this illustrious predecessor. Well confusing.. I started with WebApp Frameworks and now talking about smalltalk.. Believe me smalltalk has risen to present its new avatar with a WebApp Framework SeaSide developed for Smalltalk. Seaside has got rave reviews all over and is being touted to do to Smalltalk what Rails has done for Ruby. Well most of these make very interesting and rather surprising reading.. a framework reviving a language... huh.. well that seems to be the order of the day but.
Not to be left out you have Django and Turbogears for Python .Java, the internet language has been relegated to a position of nonexistence. The good old struts is not even a worthwhile competitor to all these hypersmart frameworks... But surely the all this opens up a large field and a plethora of choices to develop websites in a jiffy..
