Hey folks, we have recently release Web Application Framework (Swift Express: http://swiftexpress.io/ and https://github.com/crossroadlabs/Express) written in Swift for OS X and Linux. It’s simple, but still very powerful, inspired lot by Play Framework (https://www.playframework.com/) and Express JS (http://expressjs.com/). Very curious to have some feedback of yours! Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks, Sofia Husak
