For those using Piet in production, what async web framework do you favor? Warhol seems pretty popular, but Schiele has me impressed with its expressiveness. We're currently using Dali, though I'm a bit dissatisfied at how surreal its API is.

I'm using Monet, because I want to make an impression on my clients.

We just throw some Pollock on the box at random, but there's some more detailed Seurat dotted around the stack.

I'm not familiar with the others, but Dali is my choice for surreal-time operating system development.

We are using Apache Van^Gogh. But it's trendy to use Hirst though.

I suspect this is being downvoted because VG has a reputation for being notoriously unstable.

Love Van^Gogh in combination with a Munch cache. Recently went to the Van^Gogh conference where they had a great talk on this topic. [0]

I really love this kind of conferences, where things are almost hands-on and you can see the actual source code of all(!) presented projects.

They even embrace showing source code, and all discussion is centered around a specific piece of code.

These are qualities I miss at most conferences.

We get popular results with Banksy, though come to think of it, not sure if anyone knows who our programmers are...

I'm surprised async web framework as old as Warhol, Schiele or even Dali can keep up with the modernities and constant advances of JS and html5. Aren't they too old-fashioned?

And how can Dali be more surreal than using a language designed to animate monkeys on webpages for writing full-blown applications?

I prefer the Hundertwasser framework, developed by 100water. Not sure how they achieved that, but this framework almost forces me to produce beautiful code.

You should definitely try Pollock. It's a bit rough, and the code is messy and hard to understand - but very powerful.

I've had good results from Emin. But it can be a bit temperamental.

I was little terrified after reading the first sentence...

Do you have references for these? Google doesn't give me much.

Just having a little fun, friend. :)

Salvador Dali is the full name. I'll let you decide how serious it is.
