Thanks!

1) Hunt framework uses the syntax of twig template engine. At 
present, blade is only used for scripting languages, such as PHP 
and JSP.

2) Eloquent is much simpler than entity. In this aspect, we will 
study the usage of eloquent and see how to implement it in D 
language.

3) If the configuration is written in D language, it will not be 
modified after compilation.

4) Laravel's documentation is really great, we will be like 
laravel's documentation!
