Synopsis

MVC::Keayl is a Model-View-Controller web framework for Raku.

It is the web layer only. The model layer is delegated to ORM::ActiveRecord and default view rendering to Template::HAML; both are pluggable. The HTTP server is reached through an abstract adapter, with the default adapter built on Cro.
