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 :)

So, I guess I need to finish writing the blog for BoB in BoB now.

It basically pipes a fifo into netcat, and pipes the output of netcat to an HTTP parsing script, which calls router and model "methods" (which use Bash's built-in "namespacing") which runs the Bash templating language esh and pipes the the HTTP response back into the fifo.

Just looked over the source. This package is unkempt and extremely hairy in some places. I'd advise using Occam's razor over the whole thing, or at least running trim and tidy on the main parts.

A swing and a miss.
