Maybe so, but jesus christ, is it some kind of rule that every framework needs to invent its own cutesy-poo vocabulary loosely related to its name? If "ingots" are just middleware, just say middleware. And WTF is a Furnace? I see there's also "Alloy".

Iron looks smart and I might steal some ideas or code along the way. I come in peace :)

Glad to have company :) Drop us a line, we'd love to talk shop.
