crud-lang

This is now in first-draft phase. Meaning, I just had the idea and I am jotting down very preliminary design decisions.

an experimental language for CRUD applications (backend only though)
Enterprise as a first-class citizen
urls are made up directories and filenames
a controller sourcefile is a file with the .ctl extension
likewise
.svc services
.cl service clients (that call other services)
.dao database access code (not objects)
.qc queueconsumers
.qp queueproducers
.utl utilities
there is a strict calling hierarchy. A service can not call a controller. It can only go 'down'.
Services can not call other services, because that is the recipe for spaghetti. Refactor your logic, abstract and put lower level code in utilities.
Utilities are allowed to call other utilities. OMG, spaghetti after all! TBD
It is an interpreter written in rust. OMG!
And it has everything I like in other languages
- strictly typed
- [] is a list
- {} is a map
- no objects, no inheritance
- structs and duck typing
- everything is an expression
- nice iterators.
- First class functions? Maybe...

**the example: **

a very simple api that listens to GET /api/customers{:id} and returns a customer from the database
