What Hacker News says
2 sourcesBy the way, something is up with the server serving the static doc. The link to the docs is wrong, eg https://github.com/iron/router should link to http://docs.ironframework.io/router/, instead of http://docs.ironframework.io/core/router. To add insult to injury, http://docs.ironframework.io/core/router returns 200 with an empty body instead of 404.
That said, the framework itself looks interesting, though the 'iron/alloy/etc' terminology is a little bit of an annoyance.
