Same experience, with Twisted Web + Nevow.
All solved after switching to WSGI and a simple WSGI framework (wrote by 
myself).

Configuration and behaviour (middlewares) are all composable.

The only thing I miss is a "little" higher level of abstraction.
Right now I operate on "request bodies" (in a text format, usually 
text/html) but I would like to operate on generic "response entities", 
where an entity is a generic object/data that can be serialized to a 
request body.

This will allow an even greater degree of composability, where each web 
"view" returns a generic entity, that can be later transformed to 
another object/data (filtered) or serialized (to JSON or HTML).

I think that Haskell is one of the most suitable languages for this 
idea, but there is the need for the equivalent of WSGI.
