Reinventing MVC pattern for web programming with F#
summary
Reimagines server-side MVC for F# by building Saturn on Giraffe and ASP.NET Core, using computation expressions to compile high-level controllers into ordinary HTTP handlers. Provides pipelines, scoped routing, REST-ish controller computation expression with subcontrollers, header-based versioning, and easy fall-back to lower-level handlers. Ships a dotnet CLI template and scaffolder that generates models, views, Dapper/SQLite repositories and migrations; demos show the scaffolded app running and DB migrations applied. Current release 0.5; plans include WebSocket channels and built-in testing/diagnostics.
