The name

Açaí is a typical fruit in Brazil that carn turn into a wonderful blend that brings tourists all over the world for it. It's pronounced /assai/ and it comes from a brailizian native language called tupi-guarani, and means "fruit that cries". But why we would ever choose such a name for this? First of all, it tastes wonderfully, second thing is that the original team responsible for creating this framework, are proud brazilians that want to share and spread our culture over the world. Third, we hopefully hope to integrate our alphabet into the web standard, since most of the places will require us to write acai.

The framework

Açaí was born from the principle that everything should be easy, even programming. So our main goal was to make a simple framework that was easy to use, but did not sacrifice good practices, perfomance nor organization. You can have everything at your hand and exchange each and every part easily. But you may ask yourself right now, where this weird name I never heard of before?

Why should you use it?

As mentioned above, açaí was built thinking about development time, perfomance and scalability. Meaning you can quickly prototype your application or just publish it with unmatched time. Scalability means that you can alter the behaviour of core parts of the framework to fit your needs and add up to reusability or any wet dream you may have. And if you don't like something about our ecossystem, you can just replace it without sacrificing the entire workflow, everything is pluggable!
