The idea is to create a simple "quick-to-go" MVC web-framework for the HaXe language, which is then compiled into PHP-files (and later perhaps Neko too).
It is inspired by Rails in the

MVC-file-structure, by ActiveRecord in the database-structure, and by "Convention over Configuration".
So, what's the point in this ?
1) Ruby on Rails is cool, but there are few hosting-alternatives, and those that exist are probably very expensive. Unless you're able to host the web-app yourself of course.
2) PHP-hosting is cheap... Apache with mod_php is default with many low budget web-hotels. (And even though you can host your rails app on a Tomcat-server with JRuby, PHP-hosting is still cheaper, and much more lightweight).
3) haXe is an incredibly cool object-oriented, functional, type-inferred, statically and dynamically typed language, that can also compile to bytecode for the Adobe Flash VM, as well as to Javascript and to Neko bytecode for the very fast Neko VM (desktop or mod_neko for Apache). Meaning: The algorithms you write in haXe can be directly reused both in your server-side PHP or Neko and in your client-side Javascript or Flash-apps... and in your desktop Neko-apps... [Less]
