Este.js is full-fledged development stack for building robust web apps, streamlined for the developer user experience. It contains well-documented, thoroughly tested JavaScript framework, written in statically-typed CoffeeScript. This allows you to write powerful and efficient code for browsers and mobile devices.

Try node run app, it's awesome. One console output for everything. Something like LiveReload handcrafted for Este.js dev stack.

Tested on and compatible for OSX, Linux, and Windows.

Take a look at TodoMVC app in assets/js/este/demos/ demos. It defines structure, feature-based namespacing, soy templates, custom events, and much more. We're actively working on a mobile version for ShopMVC on this stack, which should give greater clarity by means of example.
