Bomber is a node.js web framework inspired by Rails, Django and anything else out there that has caught our eye.

Main website and documentation: http://bomber.obtdev.com/

Warning! Right now the API is very much in a state of flux.  We are still experimenting with the best way to make Bomber both intuitive and powerful.  Expect things to change a lot for the forseeable future.

Getting up and running
----------------------

The source code for Bomber is [located on GitHub][bomber-src].  To check it out, run the following command:

// fileIO style continuables example
// Note: All the three examples here are done based on the *same* API,
// namely the fileIO continuables API

// "Promise lite" style with either:
readFile("11.txt")(either(
function (e) {
  // handle an error
},
function (obj) {

guanix

open("path.tmp")
.then(function (stream) {
  return stream.write("some text");
}).then(function (stream) {
  return stream.close();
}).then(function () {
  return rename("path.tmp", "path");
}, function (e) {
  // one error handler for an error at any point in the chain
});

require.paths.unshift('/Users/guan/code/node-promise');
var promise = require('node-promise'),
    sys = require('sys');
process.mixin(GLOBAL, require('promise'));

// A promise version of setTimeout
var delay = function (timeout) {
    var deferred = new process.Promise();
    setTimeout(function () {
        deferred.resolve();

guanix

var continuables = require('continuables'), sys = require('sys');

function delay(timeout, fail) {
    var continuable = continuables.create();
    setTimeout(function () {
        if (fail)
            continuable.fulfill(new Error('fail'));
        else
            continuable.fulfill(true);
    }, timeout);

in_reply_to_id

in_reply_to_id is a piece of information that may be associated with a tweet. It is a reference to the tweet that is being replied to. On twitter.com, you can tell that in_reply_to_id is set because the “in reply to” link is visible. In other Twitter clients, there may be a similar link or an icon to show a discussion thread.

If in_reply_to_id is not set, then it can be difficult or impossible to tell which tweet is being replied to, and it can be difficult to reconstruct discussion threads.
