[Seaside] rails niceties equivalents?

[James Robertson]

We have deployed Seaside (2.8) for our Support resolutions app:

http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/ResolutionsApplication/CincomResolutionsPortal

and we've had no scalability issues.  On Smalltalk web apps more  
generally, the entire Cincom Smalltalk website is Smalltalk powered,  
and the only scaling issues we ever had were due to bad code on my  
part - I was able to patch those on the fly with caching solutions.   
The same approach ought to work for a Seaside app; if you used a  
database back end (using Web Velocity, for instance), you could have  
your app cache results, only hitting the database when there were  
actual changes to deal with.
