Hello Miso!
Miso was created by a couple Ruby developers for a project that, due to a client requirements, had to be completed in Java. After a couple hours of searching, we were unable to find a lightweight web framework with the simplicity of Sinatra or Merb. The most popular alternatives seemed laden with complex configurations, IDE dependencies / complex build processes, and required mountains of code to accomplish simple things.
Miso is also about helping to bridge the gap between the Java and Ruby communities. Both are good, stable languages with independent strengths. Javaʼs static typing and verbose syntax enable an intelligent compiler to produce lightning-fast bytecode on a smart VM. Rubyʼs flexibility and expressive syntax empower developers to create simple DSLs for complex tasks. We hope that Miso can help Ruby developers to understand the speed and power of Java, and that it might show Java developers a simpler way to get things done. Regardless of your background, miso is designed to get you started, then get out of your way.
