goddess

How dynamic can we really make NodeJS and JavaScript?

For development only

Disclaimer

This is an experiment trying to push what we can do in the environment we commonly develop in.

Live reloading, automatic requests, generating tests, automatic linting and things like that is the kind of experiments goddess will focus on.

• NodeJS version 6 or later
• npm version 3 or later
