What is Mantis?
Mantis is a web framework for V lang that that emphasize on explicit code and type safety.
v
module main
import khalyomede.mantis.http { create_app, App, Response }
import khalyomede.mantis.http.route
import khalyomede.mantis.http.response
fn main() {
app := create_app(
cpus: 8
routes: [
route.get(name: "index", path: "/", callback: fn (app App) Response {
return response.html(content: "hello world")
})
]
)
app.serve() or { panic(err) }

V is a modern type-safe immutable fast general purpose programming language. Think of Go with the strict-typing and simple syntax you were expecting.
