Introducing Cortex - A web framework in C and oriented toward AI-native workflows

A developer released Cortex, an open-source web application framework written in C that follows Ruby on Rails conventions while targeting AI-native workflows. The project emphasizes convention over configuration, a clear project structure, and a small footprint with low-level control and performance, and is hosted at github.com/sergiomaia/cortex.

Cortex is a web application framework designed to feel familiar if you’ve used Ruby on Rails, but implemented in C and oriented toward AI-native workflows. It embraces the “Rails Way”: convention over configuration, a clear project structure, and an emphasis on developer happiness. If you already know how a Rails app is organized, you’ll feel at home. The difference is under the hood: Cortex is written in C, giving you low-level control, a small footprint, and excellent performance. Contributing Cortex is open source and just getting started. Whether you’re a C veteran, a Rails developer curious about systems programming, or someone passionate about AI tooling, there’s a place for you here.
