Great work and very good presentation.<p>(These comments are just from watching the first video.)<p>But how is this next-generation? It seems to be very inspired by established widely used web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails. With elements such as ORM, routing, controllers, HTML templates.<p>It also seems to require a lot of code generation. Is that really constructive? (What happens if I edit the various generated files, would I still be able to add field to a record using the command line tools). Couldn&#x27;t you have moved some of the boilerplate into the framework?<p>Why not use ES6 imports? (Rather than require &#x2F; Nodal.require)<p>Why create an ORM rather than use a JavaScript-orientated NoSQL database? (mongo, couch etc.)
