Key-Features

Key features of Diamond

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.
