Backpacking: Io-powered web framework

Inspired by the simplicity of other web frameworks, and the awesome metaprogramming power of Io, Chris Carter set out to recreate nails, hammer and toolbox.

Here it is: the wheel, recreated in Io.

  • both DBRMS- and ORM-agnostic
  • simple template system
  • MIT-licensed, yours to fiddle with

Run it

$ io

Will start a server on port 8000 per default.
