fastn

Programming language and web framework for building content-centric websites and user interfaces.

fastn is a programming language and a web framework for building user interfaces and content-centric websites. A fastn site can be compiled into static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or served with fastn serve, where processors execute on the server side. The fastn build command writes the compiled output to a .build folder.

FifthTry, the company named in the README and in the license header, also offers its own hosting for static and dynamic fastn sites.
