Overview
utron is a lightweight MVC framework. It is based on the principles of simplicity, relevance and elegance.
-
Simplicity. The design is simple, easy to understand, and doesn't introduce many layers between you and the standard library. It is a goal of the project that users should be able to understand the whole framework in a single day.
-
Relevance.
utrondoesn't assume anything. We focus on things that matter, this way we are able to ensure easy maintenance and keep the system well-organized, well-planned and sweet. -
Elegance.
utronuses golang best practises. We are not afraid of heights, it's just that we need a parachute in our backpack. The source code is heavily documented, any functionality should be well explained and well tested.
Motivation
After two years of playing with golang, I have looked on some of my projects and asked myself: "How golang is that?"
So, utron is my reimagining of lightweight MVC, that maintains the golang spirit, and works seamlessly with the current libraries.
