Open Source Loves Lighthouse
Since we've rolled out our free Open Source projects we've had a number of amazing projects come on board. Check out the projects for yourself:
SproutCore: Fresh off the press! Created by Sproutit with major contributions from Apple, SproutCore is a Cocoa-inspired, MVC-based JavaScript framework.
mootools: A compact, modular, object-oriented JavaScript framework. We used mootools' FX package on Warehouse, it's a fantastic framework and we're glad to have them on board.
Prototype: Our JavaScript framework of choice. We use Prototype almost universally on our projects, including Lighthouse.
RubyOnRails: The immensely popular web framework that Lighthouse is built on along with a host of other very popular applications including Twitter, Penny Arcade and BaseCamp.
Merb: An up and coming web framework built on Ruby, created and supported by our awesome hosting provider EngineYard.
Chyrp: A clean and simple PHP blogging engine with a pimpin' theme and module engine.
Rubinius: A virtual machine for running Ruby programs and a Ruby core library. Rubinius is also supported by Engineyard.
RSpec: A Behaviour Driven Development framework for Ruby
Thanks to all those projects who've joined us here at Lighthouse, especially the Rubinius, Merb and Rspec guys. They were on Lighthouse long before our official open source support, and have given us a lot of good feedback and criticism. We're looking forward to expanding on our Open Source functionality and doing what we can to support free and open projects!
