Description

At the moment, there are many different platforms for web-applications developing: Django, ASP.NET Core, Express, Angular, etc. Usually, these platforms assume a division of labour when a relatively large group of developers are working on a project, each of whom is engaged in its part
(design, layout, front-end, back-end).
In our real life, usually, only 1-2 people (full-stack developers) participate in the development of an application. The platform WALT (Web Application Lego Toolkit) presented in the report, in our opinion, is well suited for the development of web applications by a small group. WALT is a simple template language plus an interpreter for that language. The report overviews WALT architecture, its template language, and a list of corporate web applications at JINR developed using WALT.
