Tower.js - JavaScript Framework for Node.js modeled after Ruby on Rails

Looks interesting. I will download and have a look.

Nice and finally a Node.js framework I will be able to understand.

The best part about this in my opinion is that the controller system works on both the client and server. I've been waiting for this, was planning on building it myself if no one figured that out.

I hope this grows. I'd love to contribute too.

Thanks for the efforts and the framework. Unfortunately, I cannot properly appreciate it for the following reason:

Please don't call something JavaScript if it's actually all in CoffeeScript (even if it's just the documentation). A lot of us have not bothered to learn CoffeeScript and a good many of them have no intention of doing so. My time was wasted following a link that says "JavaScript", a language I know well, only to discover it was in CofeeScript, a language I have not bothered to learn, nor do I plan to anytime soon. I would down vote this if I could merely for the mislabeling. If you love CoffeeScript enough to use it as you obviously have, own it, advertise it openly and stop being in denial that CoffeeScript as a written language is different from JavaScript as so many CoffeeScripters seem wont to do.

Locomotive is another option writing MVC web applications in Node, using the familiar structure from Rails: http://locomotivejs.org/

It's strictly focused on the backend, and remains strongly view and database agnostic.
