.lp is cool but it's not a framework. it's like going back to the good ol'

True, that's why we are moving up with Orbit.
I like Rails because
- their methods are easy to understand
- Love their activerecord migration feature
- Love the javascript code generator (it would be lovely to generate js
scripts with lua, like google's GWT)
That is reachable, but not this year... We have a prototype in the
direction of ActiveRecord (the ORM part) and another in the direction of
a template engine that is intentionally not Turing complete. :o)
I see that CGIlua is copying Ruby's lang? with the <% %> tags and the
CGILua:puts() method. So i see that Orb should be similar to Rails?
Orbit is just the MVC framework. Rails is a complete (and amazing)
solution for web development and offers a lot more than just the MVC
abstraction.
pity my lua knowledge is limited. else, i would attempt at porting a mix of
rails/solar php to lua.
Maybe you could join the Kepler Project list and help us make Orbit
better. I'm afraid the Lua list is not the best place for a potentially
long off topic thread like MVC for Lua.
