[racket] Standard recipe for Racket based services and HTML5/Javascript UI webapps?

Technical analysis Web apps using PostgreSQL and SCGI library (this is 
from before Racket Web Server) work well. Lately I have had good success 
using Racket's standard PostgreSQL support, after using proprietary 
interfaces before.  Internal research tools Web apps (e.g., corpus 
annotating and some analysis) using Racket Web Server (with 
continuations) also worked well, and every time our needs changed, 
implementing was very rapid.  Also now using Racket server (without 
continuations) for RackOut appliance, serving mobile app to just 
1-to-few people smartphones/pads in living room.  For client-side, I'm a 
fan of the jQuery family of packages, including some of the contrib 
ones.  JSON is a good way to go, and I've used it in all those apps; 
I've also had to use XML a lot, but XML standards tend to be bad, 
especially it comes to RPC, and ad hoc in JSON is easier.  
Java/.NET/etc. programmers who are overly committed to conception of how 
things should be done should just stick to Java; success with Racket 
still requires sharpness and imagination, IMHO.
