Karax -- Single page applications in Nim
========================================
Karax is a prototype for developing single page applications in Nim.
Karax is a framework for developing single page applications in Nim.
It's still in heavy development, so keep in mind that the API is subject
to change.
To try it out, run::
cd examples/todoapp
nim js todoapp.nim
open todoapp.html
It uses a virtual DOM like React, but is much smaller than the existing
frameworks plus of course it's written in Nim for Nim. No external
dependencies! And thanks to Nim's whole program optimization only what
is used ends up producing JavaScript code.
Goals
=====
- Leverage Nim's macro system to produce a framework that allows
for the development of applications that are boilerplate free.
- Keep it small, keep it fast, keep it flexible.
