spiderweb – A tool for building WEB systems

Spi­dery WEB is built around the tool Spi­der, that reads a de­scrip­tion of a pro­gram­ming lan­guage, and writes source code for a Weave and a Tan­gle which sup­port that lan­guage. The base sources de­rive from CWEB, so that the re­sult­ing pro­grams in­herit some prop­er­ties of that sys­tem (e.g., the abil­ity to read mul­ti­ple files). Spi­der it­self is writ­ten in Awk, and the Weave and Tan­gle out­put is in C.
Spi­dery WEB is no longer sup­ported: its au­thor used lessons learned from the de­vel­op­ment to pro­duce the still more com­pact noweb sys­tem.
