Wee is not much in use, that's right. I know a few people (including 
me), that tried it out and/or are developing application with it. I 
myself, switched from Wee to Rails for a very database-centric 
application, due to the statelessness of Rails (or Nitro). In 
Wee/Borges, you normally spend more time in looking to find the right 
abstractions, which leads to cleaner code IMHO, unless you have a very 
near deadline to match of course ;-)

I haven't used continuations in Wee for a very long time. So, it might 
be even the case, that I broke something (should be very easy to fix of 
course).

Regards,

   Michael
