chevron/kernel
==============

[](#chevronkernel)

So Kernel is still unstable and as much as I would like to tag a v1, I'm going to wait--not sure how long. However, I've made some I'm-not-going-to-code-that decisions that deserve an explanation.

For starters, the original idea is to have a handful of (decoupled) components that when combined, would power a web site. In development, I looked over Aura and a few other frameworks to see how they did it. In trying to write code that was a poor man's clone of any one system I wrestled with how I wanted Kernel to function.

To view how this module can interact with it's siblings try [chev](https://github.com/chevronphp/chev).

See [packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/chevron/kernel) for version/installation info.
