I'm still putting together a toolkit for myself to be using on web development. I've been missing a good MVC framework for javascript. Just recently I stumbled upon several interesting projects in development.


I discovered Jaxer a long while ago (perhaps even during the beta stages). Although I'd prefer to use that than PHP, I think that the number of libraries available for Ruby make Ruby a better choice.

More importantly, mixing client logic and server logic is something that just doesn't sit well with me. I'm of the opinion that clients and servers should be separate. I just don't see how you could adequately follow the data-service paradigm while mixing client/server logic. I'd rather use my own public api and know that it works for everything a customer would need (including a working demonstration - the application itself) than have the convenience of coding things just once.

I still want to do more research into CouchDB before I settle on which frameworks to mix and match from.



I also want to look into Sinatra and DataMapper.
