This is not a criticism of Blitz which looks fine. From what I can see, it is better than fine.

However, this reminds me of the early Rails (or even Rails 4.0) demos that I saw where they build a blog in 5 minutes.

Here is the thing: The fastest way to get a skeletal app running -- even if it is written in C -- is to

> git clone already_written_archetype.lang

And then you can modify it.

So you can put that archetype into the framework. So I always wonder if the right example is not build a blog or to-do-list or twitter clone. The right example might be:

take a blog and change it into a twitter clone

Because you can always download the archetype if you need to but the framework should demonstrate how nimble it is. (Again, I don't claim Blitz is not nimble and I would have to play with it to know.)
