web framework that will reduce number of lines of code

which framework helps in reducing the number of lines of code needed to create a web app?

ruby on rails? php? asp.net mvc? jsp/servlet? django/python?

I just don't like typing a lot of code especially if it's boilerplate. If I can write 10 lines of code versus 100 to get the same results, I think most people would prefer 10...right? So, tell me which web framework will acheive this goal.

SilverStripe requires almost no lines and no understanding of PHP. It comes with the UI, Auth, and everything you need to get started.

The answer to the question is completely circumstantial; certain frameworks will require less lines of code for specific purposes. Perhaps if you can give the StackOverflow readers an idea of the kind of task you wish to accomplish, they can point you in the direction of the framework that is most likely to accomplish the task in fewest lines of code.

For a complex application: Seaside. None of the others comes close. Especially when you run it on a OODB like Gemstone: Glass

I think you can answer this question yourself with this way: Do the get started project.

In my case was: django/python, why?, see the get started project, will take a 1 or 2 hours to understand/develop/deploy, and not python knowledge required, just a hyperactive open mind.

All of them.

I wouldn't use "Shortest program" as a guiding factor in selecting one though.

It really depends on what backend and DB you are using to support your web app.

I mean, if you are consuming .Net web services then I think asp.net (and visual studio) would be the best match to generate all code behind classes to consume the data strongly typed. Other backend/db maybe make you choose a totally different path.
