I've seen on the web several comparsions of (Smalltalk + Seaside) VS (Ruby + Rails)
But I'm wondering if Seaside is comparable to Rails. What is the equivalent of Sinatra?
What is smalltalk's web microframework?
Is there one? Seaside can work on both ways? Could Iliad be compared?

Smalltalk was the first graphical language tool to support live programming and advanced debugging techniques such as on-the-fly inspection and code changes during execution in a very user-friendly format.
Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed reflective programming language. Smalltalk was created as the language underpinning the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis".
Smalltalk is perceived as a market failure. Smalltalk is perceived as having dim prospects for the future and thus not worth investing time and energy in it. It is most difficult to fight bad PR, but I shall try. Smalltalk is a language that has evolved carefully over the years.
Smalltalk is still very relevant. It's an excellent instructional language for teaching programming to people who have no technical background. It's a superlative prototyping language for startups. It's an industrial-strength enterprise language used by businesses both big and small all around the globe.
There are several web servers and micro web microframework available that are comparable to Sinatra: Zinc, WebServer, Kom and Swazoo.
