// ligament.js is the smallest, lightest-weight JavaScript MVC framework.
//
// ligament.js requires modern browsers, which provide Object.create.
// Newer browsers are the future, older browsers are the past.
//
// If you really must support older browsers like IE8, you can use the
// hot polyfill for Object.create found at
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/create

// Usage:
//   MyModel  = Object.create(M);
//   instance = Object.create(MyModel);
//   instance.firstName = "Brendan";
//   instance.lastName = "Eich";
//
// Because ligament.js uses *real* prototype inheritance, like Spine, you can add new
// methods to the MVC layers by simply extending MVC objects:
//   M.toString = function() { console.log("All models get this method!"); };
//   Person = Object.create(M);
//   Person.fullName = function() { return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName; }
//   jeremy = Object.create(Person);
//   jeremy.firstName = "Jeremy";
//   jeremy.lastName = "Ashkenas";
//   jeremy.fullName() //=> Jeremy Ashkenas
//
// That's it! Why deal with all the bloat of JavaScript frameworks. Use ligament.js!

M = {}, V = {}, C = {};

this is getting a fair bit less entertaining... sorry to call it out.

cool

Which one should I use? this or ember?
