What a great name.

"Bash with Balls" might've been better.

Then it loses the Ruby on Rails reference.

I have nothing but praise for this piece of insanity. I love bash and truly enjoy watch it being taken beyond is intended use cases.

Ha! Yeah, it's totally not done yet, but yes, certainly intended as a piece of insanity. With all seriousness, of course. The model layer still needs a good deal of work, and I think it might be fun to write up some tutorials or something :)

Why is that important?

It's funny on multiple levels. Physically abusing testicles and the Ruby on Rails reference being the two obvious ones.

If you change the name as you suggest, then it's significantly less funny. Funny is an important component of fun.

Nice! Similar netcat trick, more Sinatra-y router. Way smaller, just one file. No templating language like esh, though.

And bash can be a verb, too!

Balls doesn't scale!
