this is very cool. I only have a passing familiarity with Tcl, but I've been building my own toy web framework and this is a fantastic reference! they made a lot of the same choices I made API-wise but the way they went about it is worth studying.

I'd like to point out that Wapp doesn't necessarily need to be run as a plain-old CGI application, I've had success running it with it's own built in web-server behind NGINX, for example.
