Architecture: any
Description: high-level programming language for developing web services
 Complete specifications are compiled into a conglomerate of
 lower-level technologies such as HTML, CGI Scripts, JavaScript, HTTP
 Authentication, and Java Applets.
 .
 The goal is to remove many of the obstacles that face current developers 
 of Web services to lower cost while increasing functionality and
 reliability, compared to CGI/Perl scripts, ASP, or PHP based solutions.
 The <bigwig> language is an intellectual descendant of the MAWL
 project, inheriting the concepts of sessions and document templates.
 .
 The <bigwig> language is really a collection of tiny domain-specific 
 languages focusing on different aspects of interactive web services. To 
 minimize the syntactic burdens, these contributing languages are held
 together by a C-like skeleton language. Thus, <bigwig> has the look
 and feel of C-programs but with special data- and control-structures.
