In honor of Twitter switching from Ruby to Scala Jay McCarthy through together this tribute.
In honor of Twitter ditching Ruby, here's a quick demo of Twitter with PLT (pronounced Pwitter)
wget http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~jay/tmp/200904061550-pltwitter.tar.gz
tar xzvf 200904061550-pltwitter.tar.gz
cd pltwitter
mzscheme -t run.ss
I've tried to be very simple and streamlined, so it doesn't do following or authentication. But it demos good uses of dispatch and templates.
While mostly tongue-in-cheek, this does serve to highlight some basic functionality of the PLT web server. And as a way to highlight Twitter's decision, I love it - fun stuff!
