            Similar to web frameworks like Merb, Rails, Pylons, or Django.

          <li>
            Built on Node.js, so it's fast and flexible.

            Geddy gives you an easy way to generate an app-scaffold,
            and to create models, controllers, or resources with
            RESTful routes. Super-easy with <code>geddy app</code>,
            <code>geddy resource</code>, <code>geddy model</code>, etc.

          <h4 class="feature-subtitle sprite-router">Flexible DSL for routes</h4>
          <p class="feature-content">
            Simple syntax for defining routes &#8212; just
            <code>match</code> paths and params <code>to</code>
            controllers and actions. Set up resource-based
            routes with the uber-simple <code>resource</code>,
            or let the <code>geddy resource</code> generator do it
            for you.

            Serve out your RESTful resources in whatever format
            you want &#8212; HTML, JSON, even XML (if you're
            into that type of thing). Geddy looks at the file
            extension and the accept-header, and does the
            right thing.

            Geddy does EJS templating, with support for rendering
            partials. Templates and sub-templates load and
            render asynchronously. Yes, pluggable templates
            are possible for you fans of 'stache, Haml, et al.

            Should look familiar to users of
            DataMapper or SQLAlchemy. A simple, intuitive
            syntax for defining properties and validations
            &#8212; but the code is pure JS, which allows
            sweet, sweet code-reuse in the browser.

            Geddy is built on Node.js, an asynchronous JavaScript I/O
            framework that uses Google's V8 engine. Node.js is
            very fast &#8212; but you get to use the JavaScript
            we all know and love from browser-land.

        to start the server.
      </p>

<pre class="brush: bash">
$ ~/work$ geddy-gen app bytor
Created app bytor.
