Zope is different, that's for sure. If I wanted do a "dynamic site in
HTML", I'd probably use it in preference to PHP or something similar
on Apache.

The server that zope is built on is medusa, which is available
stand-alone. If you want a "dynamic site done in a real programming
language", it's just the ticket. Zope is the result of retargeting an
earlier OO web design tool that was written in the same language as
medusa to run on medusa.

Medusa is a single-threaded select loop, meaning you get all the
advantages of shared data with none of the headaches of a concurrent
access. I don't know that it would handle the very high end stuff, but
it's certainly suitable for heavy traffic. For instance, e-groups was
using it last time I checked.
