Good question.  I hadn't quite gotten far enough to interface to a
database yet.  Right now I'm having enough trouble just trying to
compile Clisp with the FastCGI module (but that is more due to lack of
time on my part).

I chose Clisp simply because a FastCGI module exists for it and it is
the easiest to call from the command line for scripting (ie: #clisp
hello-world.cgi).

Other suggestions are certainly welcome, although I prefer CL over scheme.

I hadn't thought of bundling a web framework and db support...but
that's a great idea!
