I find it similar to connect/express http://expressjs.com/guide.html but a less tasty DSL and nothing new, or am I missing something? I'm sure one inspired the other since the API is strikingly similar (app.use app.get etc), strange that no comparison is given. Anyway, kudos to the devs for free software!
