Looking at the comments, I am puzzled.

Do any of you have real jobs, where you need to do things fast and easy without the mess? This seems like a good fit.

Most comments are kind of snooty here, don't ya think?

When I look at the examples, like the top one (currently) on the web page, which is a "SaaS example in 200 lines" (or something to that effect), it looks good to me. Simple, quick to grasp.

I actually ran it, and it worked. I was able to quickly make something useful (especially since PostgreSQL is my bread and butter), and there's an application server that runs just fine. I even tested performance with ab, and got some 3900 requests per second through Nginx. Of course that's meaningless given we all have different hardware, but I can tell you it's pretty zippy.

And what's wrong with the URL above? How's that a joke? In what universe?

Someone below mentioned this is like an assembler. What? It's the opposite you guys. If I look at the example, and I look at the code I'd have to do in just above any language (and I've done it twice so far in different languages), Gliimly looks like a step forward to me. Say when I did this in Go, I'd say that looked like an assembler, and Gliimly looks like a high level language.

I wonder where are these comments coming from. Folks from other projects who don't like competition? Geeks who love their ancient tech to the point of exhaustion?

Come on folks, give the rest of us regular people a break.
