What Is Tir?
Tir is a simple Lua+Mongrel2 web framework that implements most of the features you need, and avoids the ones you're going to replace anyway, like ORM. It supports extensible templates; coroutine, handler, or callback state management, and is only 1300 lines of clean simple Lua code.
Tir applications take the model of a process per page making it easy to carve your application up across multiple servers and scale only the pieces that need it. If one part is sucking, just replace that part.
You can take a look at the features, download the latest and get started right now.
Stylish State
Use the state management paradigm that fits the problem, not the framework inventor's business model.
Simple Design
With only 1300 lines of code, you can understand all of Tir in an hour if you already know Lua.
Pragmatic Polyglot
Easily swap out parts of your Tir app with another language when Tir isn't working for you. No more polishing huge turds.
