Is there any server side programming framework/programming language implementati

Question

Is there any server side programming framework/programming language implementation that support this kind of development (I don't know what is called):

start the server
edit the source code
test it on the browser, if error goto 2, the error line information (and if possible, the stack trace) should appear on the browser, and so on

So I don't have to restart the server at all, or go to the console/terminal to see the errors, I just need to alt-tab between the IDE/text editor and the browser only.

One example programming language that I found that support this kind of development process is PHP

Are there any other language that support this kind of development process (edit and test, without restart the server, and the error shown on browser)?

Explanation / Answer

I would call this "auto-reloading."

The language/framework will "reload" your code if it changes.

Just about any modern web framework will support this. Some big names:

Anything PHP, as you have mentioned
Ruby on Rails
Python Django
Play, Java or Scala

All of these will also give HTML with details errors/stacktraces for compilation errors and runtime errors.

You'll have to find some other feature to decide your language/framework; this feature is had by all.
