theoricus

About

Theoricus uses simple naming conventions (as you see in rails and many others), with a powerful build system behind it. There's also a naviagation mechanism built to let your free to code your shit instead of handling url's manually.

It's in a very alpha version, use at your own risk.

Have fun. :)

Features

• Routes system
• Server-side rendering
• Generators and destroyers for code scaffolding
• I/O transitions for all Views
• Convention over configuration (+)
• Automagic naviagation mechanism
• Powerful build system (on top of Polvo)
• Simplistic JSON-Rest interface for models

Supported Languages

Polvo is the build system behind Theoricus, and so you can use any language it supports - full list here.
