Features

A complete framework

Lotus is lightweight, fast and testable. It aims to bring back Object Oriented Programming to web development, leveraging on a stable API, a minimal DSL, and plain objects.

Philosophy

Lotus is an Open Source Software, based on simplicity, less DSLs, few conventions, more objects, zero monkey-patching of the core language and standard lib, separation of concerns for MVC layers.

It suggests best practices, but it leaves all the freedom to you, as a developer, to build your own architecture, and use your own objects.

Lotus is made of standalone frameworks (controllers, views, etc..), each one is shipped as an independent gem, in order to remark the separation of concerns.
