Re: Can index.html be made the default page?

[Nala Ginrut]

Although I can add default index handler in route system, you will lose
the chance to render `index.html' as a HTML template, since the
render requires `the-environment' to capture variables in your current
context.

But anyway, I will add this feature into route system. Because folks may
just want to render the page with front-end framework like
React. Personally, I use both backend template and React. And some folks
don't like front-end rendering at all.

Best regards.
