min does not have a C FLI essentially because it has a "Nim FLI". It is really easy to add new symbols to the language using a Nim API (which is also used internally to define all symbols of the language).
Wow! Your web site changed a bit since last time I saw it, congratulations Yanis! It's great to see a programming language implemented in Nim to look so polished!
The feature set is pretty similar, but I focused mainly on the free form/nosql-ish aspect of it, and although I added support for server-side JavaScript middleware I didn't include authentication OOTB (although it could be implemented or you can integrate with an OAuth2 system - it can validate JWT tokens).
And yes, LiteStore's web app hasn't been updated in years and overall your project looks much more polished than mine.
I am "eating my own dog food" in the sense that I am currently using two projects that I developed specifically for that:
- HastyScribe[1] -- an opinionated markdown compiler that supports advanced features for technical writing like macros, fields and transclusion.
- HastySite[2] -- a highly customizable static site generator based on HastyScribe and min[3], another project of mine (and a pretty deep rabbit hole to go into, if you like unusual programming languages)
Examples can be found in the docs listed for most of my with my projects, here:
The only thing missing from those is search, but I could plug in LiteStore[4] and be done with it. OK, I think that's enough self-promotion for one comment, but you did ask...
The municipality of Triora, a beautiful historical town now nearly abandoned, very close to the Ligurian coast in Italy, is selling houses as low as 1 (one!) euro, in an attempt to re-populate the area and get someone to invest in restoring the historical landmarks...
Looks very similar to something I made a while ago[1]. SQLite is an awesome piece of software, and with JSON and Fulltext search baked in is ideal for these kind of things. Glad to see that people are finally realizing it!
Interesting project! I recently created something similar[1] because I wanted a simple, easy to use, bloat-free micro framework to create single page applications. I also wanted it to be somewhat "battery-included" and provide things like routing and state management out of the box.
I think skruv comes with even bigger batteries (SVG support, Shadow Dom integration and additional vdom related apis), and I am curious to see how they all play together. The one thing that does seem a bit weird is the html helper functions... like Mithril, I went straight for hyperscript: I think it is very underrated right now but it is actually a good way to write a dom tree -- and you also get JSX support (nearly) for free.
Anyhow, keep up the good work, I think the world needs more micro frameworks like these: powerful but simple enough to be understood and extended easily if needed.
- https://min-lang.org for more complex things. It took a bit to get used to it, but I managed to get quite productive with it in the end.
I do occasionally try out more traditional things or the latest stuff but... using my own code feels a lot more gratifying. If I needed something different, I found myself building it from scratch exactly like I wanted it.

See https://min-lang.org/learn-extending/ for more info. Maybe I should generate some Nim docs for the public API though... but it's really easy to use, and you can check the lib folder of the repo for examples: https://github.com/h3rald/min/tree/master/minpkg/lib
