What do you have in mind? A microframework, like Flask or Sinatra? I like that idea. I'd have to real dive into the internal of something like Werkzeug before trying to help out. But the Julia language itself looks fairly straightforward.

I just finished up building a microblogging framework using Flask, and I'd love to do the same with a lean MVC framework in Julia, particularly if you achieve anything close to C-like performance.

Is Julia said to be fairly stable at this point?

Exactly what I was thinking.. something small and light, but elegant (very much like Julia itself!). I have little experience in this area and have only built the most lightweight frameworks for myself, but if we start a git repo I'll be the first to dive in and start poking around. I think it would be a really cool project.
Please let me know if you put up a git repo. I can't promise that I'll be able to make any significant contributions at this point in time (working on big project for the next few weeks), but I'd love to try to help when I do get some free time.

By the way, have you seen brubeck: http://brubeck.io/ It would be interesting to build this framework on top of Mongrel 2. Not saying we should necessarily try. But it could be fast, fast, fast.
