Key-Features

Goals

To provide a powerful consistent API
The API of Diamond should be rich of features, but still with powerful performance and the style should be consistent all over.
High performance without complexity
The performance of Diamond should be high without making the API complex to use.
Compile-time template parsing
Templates are parsed at compile-time and thus produce very little run-time overhead.
Easy-to-use and feature-rich template syntax
The syntax of templates should be feature-rich, with an easy-to-use syntax.
It should be easy to create advanced templates without complex looking code.
Secure & less error-prone API
The API of Diamond should provide security to battle error-prone code, enabling code to be written "bug-free".
Enterprise development
Diamond should be stable enough and have enough features to be used in enterprise and commercial work.
Always free & open-source
Diamond should always remain free and open-source, no matter the framework's size or popularity.
As little dependencies as possible
The less dependencies Diamond has, the better.
library dependencies for database drivers etc. are okay
Cross-platform
Should always be able to support all platforms that vibe.d/DMD supports.
Natural development feeling
Using Diamond should feel natural without annoyance, so you can focus more on developing your application, rather than setting up Diamond.
