AnkoWeb is built on top of the Anko virtual machine, which provides a robust execution environment for running AnkoWeb scripts. With AnkoWeb, you can create web applications that are both flexible and performant, thanks to its lightweight, yet powerful scripting capabilities. Originally, Anko is a scriptable interpreter written in Golang and was created by @mattn.
AnkoWeb allows you to embed server-side code directly within your HTML pages, making it a powerful tool for building dynamic web applications.
