rzr

pronounced "razor", rzr is a highly-opinionated full-stack application framework written in coffeescript on node.js

rzr is designed to promote a deep philosophical understanding of the system and to allow the developer to focus solely on the application's core domain, implementing ideas from Domain Driven Design (DDD) and enforcing Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
