Singletoned

Stumbled across an interesting web framework called RIP, by Luke Arno. It seems to be made up of pieces he’s all made himself.

Going through the obligatory quick wiki example, I like the style of it. Straightforward, obvious, no magic (one of his stated aims). It’s only 0.1 at the moment but I’m going to keep an eye on it; maybe steal some bits.

It does use a very frameworky style. It has a command-line tool that generates loads of boilerplate for you (just like TurboGears). Not keen on that as a style. Having played with web.py and Arc recently, I really like the idea of starting with a single blank file and adding in what you need from there, rather than starting with a large number of files. (It’s possibly no coincidnce that both of those have some sort of link back to Paul Graham).
