While it looks like interesting, I don't see the core value. It looks like some boilerplate around Webpack, Imba, and Ruby and other libraries in order to make web apps.

Can the OP enlights us?

It's a boilerplate around an idea which is described in Architecture part. Webpack, Imba, Ruby is just a one of possible configurations.

The core value is to have one component based structure which is combined with any technology. You add more technologies by adding servers which obey the structure. Component based structure is much different than we do with Rails, Django, Phoenix, etc. If you want to go forward with methodologies or technologies you go without any cost of rewriting because each component is independent.

Thanks to polyglot approach you can work with specialists of other technologies or you can choose yourself different technologies per feature, if you think one is stronger for the task.

Main ingredients of the concept are independent which makes them easy to scale. New threads of some service are cheaper than new instances of whole application.

I hope to add more consumer servers (Python, Elixir, JS) and implement Thin Communication Layer in C using lightwebsockets lib.

Thanks for asking.

This stuff is.. mad

Looks interesting, but it's impossible to follow what the hell's going on, looks like something I'd make.

That's the point. You don't need frameworks. Doing apps is ridiculously easy. That's why it looks like a boilerplate of some technologies.

Anyway, is it how you make apps?
