I like it, it can be humanized a bit more like:

  var app = express.Application(); // let me create apps, not servers 
  app.get('/', app.do('index',req,res));
  app.run();  // set port in config.js
I'll keep an eye on express.


I can give express a thumbs up. I came from a python-flask environment, and express provided a way for me to quickly get the gist of javascript object-models and message passing.

(I'm not a CS guy, I just wanted to finish a digital art project involving buses and geolocation).


Combining express with http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ makes it really terse.
