Oh I see, so you can use emacs to build server apps. That's clever, but then again, is there a special advantage in running the app from emacs?

Side note, but elnode: https://github.com/nicferrier/elnode

I think the move to program "real" applications in Emacs is smart. It encourages improvements in Emacs Lisp itself, and it leverages the skills we already have in programming Emacs.

For me, there are some reasons: * I like use org-mode to write my Blog, it's very cool if there is a Blog system powered by Emacs-Lisp. * For now, use PHP, JSP or any other tech to build web app, you need works with HTML, CSS, PHP... However, in Lisp, everything can describe in List (like SQL in EDBC). You can refer https://github.com/redraiment/emacs-cgi to see embedded HTML in elisp. * There are many function for text edit in Emacs ready. Hence, I think it will suitable for build server apps.
