None
Do we need yet another web framework?
Are you reinventing the wheel?
What if we never reinvented the wheel?
The wheel
None
We reinvented the wheel after observing it
Complexity should be managed, not hidden.
Why does this matter?
The ultimate goal is…
Money https://flic.kr/p/aFAEHR
Use case: http://bit.ly/github-rails-upgrade
We should not trade control for convenience.
Cost of maintenance 0 20 40 60 80 Years 0

Silver bullets are a lie.
Philosophy
Standalone frameworks
Full stack applications

Simple
Simplicity is achieved by removing what isn’t essential

Lotus doesn’t enable optional features by default
We perceive as simple the things we are familiar with
BookRepository.find 23
Rails.application.routes.draw do get '/' => 'home#index', as: :home resources :books
end ! Rails.application.routes # => ???
router = Lotus::Router.new do get '/', to: 'home#index', as: :home
resources :books end ! router.path(:home) # => '/' router.call(env) # Rack env run router # in config.ru

Testable
Testability is a virtue
There is no “test-damaged” design
class Show include Lotus::Action ! expose :book ! def initialize(repository
= BooksRepository) @repository = repository end ! def call(params) @book = @repository.find params[:id] end end
book = Object.new repository = Minitest::Mock.new repository.expect(:find, book, [Integer]) !
action = Show.new(repository) action.call(id: 23) # => [200, {}, nil] ! repository.verify action.book.must_equal book # assigns(:book) isn’t needed
