Weblord
Weblord builds our website's pages: It gives related pages a consistent look, lets us propagate one change to all affected pages, and gives use the freedom to experiment at virtually no cost at all. Weblord is intended to build static pages, but could serve a dynamic site as well.
The software could be thought of as a "website compiler", embedding smaller elements in larger ones, and using the context of the outer elements to affect the content of the inner ones. Once the specification for the site has been built, it is simple to affect the site as a whole. The product information boxes below, for example, are filled over and over, where they are needed, with the information that applies to each product. It's a little like saying "format x using y" where x is a collection of values, and y is the formatting, which uses these values in the layout.
Below you will find specifics on Weblord for various platforms:
Weblord for Java
The Java version of Weblord is the only one currently under active development. Most modern operating systems have a fairly recent Java Virtual Machine (JVM) available.
The Java version is an order of magnitude faster than the statically compiled C version of Weblord.1 — Primarily this is because the C version had no hash tables to work with, so lookups were condemned to linear (and no, not even binary) searches. But the algorithms are also more refined in the Java version, the structures more tuned, and the core engine much better designed.

1 Well, sure, they're completely different codebases, so the comparison is rather one of apples and oranges, but the bottom line is the important factor, wouldn't you agree?
