The Smart Platform. A JavaScript P.a.a.S.
summary
Claim: a JavaScript PaaS that you push with Git, auto‑scales transparently and bills like electricity. Built as an open source platform (formerly zimke / reasonably Smart) embedding Spider Monkey and benefiting from Trace monkey speed; measured at 797 contexts a second. Demo: a writable Wiki implemented in server JavaScript that needs no memcache or queues and just works under load. Features include a simple data API, media store, async workers planned, and no vendor lock‑in.
