<title>NeoWebScript</title>

+ NWS was a server-side scripting environment based on the Apache
+ HTTP server and Safe-Tcl and it's not maintained anymore.

+ The biggest difference between Rivet and Neowebscript is that
+ Neowebscript was designed for shared hosting while Rivet is more oriented
+ toward a site that owns all of its content. In the words of Karl Lehenbauer,
+ NWS author and Rivet Team member:

+ Rivet, however, is considerably more efficient, powerful, and
+ evolved, though it still can support multiple independent sites on a single
+ machine through its <quote>separate virtual interpreters</quote> mechanism.
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>By powerful, the difference is that the full power of Tcl is available
+ to webpage authors, not the restricted version that NWS provides.
+ For instance, you can read or write any file in the system that you
+ have permission to, require any package, open sockets and pipes, etc.</listitem>
+ <listitem>By efficient, the difference is that Tcl interpreters survive past
+ the generation of a webpage and are reused again and again, reducing the
+ overhead of generating a page.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>By evolved, all of our efforts have gone toward Rivet for many
+ years and so, you know, Rivet does more out of the box than Neowebscript did.</listitem>
