Cherokee: High-performance web server. Cherokee is highly efficient, extremely lightweight and provides rock solid stability.

The compass core framework is a design-agnostic framework that provides common code that would otherwise be duplicated across other frameworks and extensions.
Cherokee and Compass are primarily classified as "Web Servers" and "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools respectively.
