You ask, you get:  Why you want to throw out the truly
great advantages that Scheme brings to web development is
beyond me.  If you aren't using continuations and your
output format is strings you might as well use Ruby 'cause
Scheme ain't buying you much!

That said, you might want to look at functional reactive
programming, particularly the FrTime system in PLT Scheme,
to see how event based code can be handled without
inversion of control problems.
