What Hacker News says
3 sourcesAfter months of development I'm proud to present to the Brainfuck community the first MVC web framework.
(from the github documentation)
# Brainfuck on Rails
Brainfuck on Rails (BoR) is a production-ready port of the popular ruby framework [Ruby on Rails](https://github.com/rails/rails).
## Usage
To use BoR you just need to:
git clone git://github.com/masylum/Brainfuck-on-Rails.git
Then download your favourite Brainfuck compiler/interpreter. I recommend the ones writted in Brainfuck itself. They perform better and you don't need to learn another language to check the source.
## Why Brainfuck?
The main reason of porting RoR to Brainfuck was obviously that BF scales out-of-the-box.
Did you know that Facebook's "poke" is implemented using BF?
## Performance
BoR performance is awesome. It runs thousands of events loops that allow you to

execute millions of parallel asynchronous expresions.
The footprint of the framework is almost inexistant. It just needs 20MB of memory. You can even run the framework on the cheap amazon machines!
## Convention over configuration
BoR doesn't need any configuration. We took the best decisions for you. If you don't agree, feel free to fork the project, but I will ignore your pull-requests, bitch.
## Tests
Something that really annoyed me of RoR was _testing_...BDD, TDD, cucumbers, rats... are your serious? We sent a man to the moon with fucking prehistoric computers and we still have to test our web applications?
BoR doesn't need tests, the framework doesn't let you shoot your foot giving you always detailed error messages on compile time.
