Gryphon Philosophy

What are the core values driving the project?

• Maintenance and readability
• SOC
• Confidence
  • Testing
  • Assert
  • Debug
• Use a few concepts well
• Easy to get core logic up and running, reasonable to make bottle necks efficient
• With great power comes great responsibility
• One tool: the language should be able to run as a script to manage the build
  • reflection, unsafe and polymorphism are good for libraries but bad for applications
• Package management should be simple and safe but not centralized.

Reduce Code

Most C# projects have a class that does a thing as unit of work (a few methods) and some tests. But to support this we end up with

• an interface
• a serialization (DB) model
• a message model

To reduce this we should derive an interface from it's methods. And a model should be able to be reasonably reused in many contexts.
