Juice? JavaScript? WTH?

A server-side Javascript webframework built on top of the JSGI protocol. Well, the version 3 proposal using the built in asynchronous Zest HTTP server.

If you like JS as a language, and clearly I do, then hopefully you'll get on with Juice:

var juice = require('juice');
var app = new juice.Application;

app.controllers.index = function() {
  return {
    status: 200,
    headers: {},
    body: ["Hello Juicers!"]
  }
}
app.actions = { "/?" : { action: "index", raw: true } };
exports.app = app.setup();

There's more to it than this obviously -- a getting started guide will be available with version 0.1 which is due for release on 20th Oct. 2009. Edit: The code is mostly ready -- we're just holding off to test things a bit better and to finalize the design of the website.

Juice is currently known to run on Flusspferd, and should run on other CommonJS platforms in the future -- it just hasn't been tested yet.

As for running your Juice app - well it ships with its own development server (which performs surprisingly well) and a CGI version for easy deployment. Version 0.2 will have FastCGI support.
