WRT the language itself, I think that it was good for its time, but
that it can be improved.
I currently have a back-burner project on to come up with an improved
ESI-like language, taking some of the ideas from my XTech talk last
year <http://www.mnot.net/blog/2006/05/16/web_2_caching>.
More soon (hopefully).

Hi,
I've understood that the ESI support in squid is still experimental.
What is the status of ESI in general? Akamai, Oracle Web Cache and
IBM
WebSphere seem to support it. However, articles on ESI date back to
2001-2004 and JESI (Java ESI tag library) still lacks a reference
implementation. Additionally, there is very little information
about ESI
outside Akamai/IBM/Oracle websites. These small signs have lead me to
believe that nobody cares and it's not that great a technology in the
first place.
What will become of ESI?
I'm working on a project which is to produce a public website with
ads
and some personalized content blocks (on the front page). I'm
evaluating
whether ESI might be the silver bullet.
