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.urls = { "/?" : { action: "index", raw: true } };

exports.app = app.setup();

There's more to it than this obviously -- check out the getting started guide for an more thorough introdruction to the basics.

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.
