...but what on earth is it?

The post says nothing about what it is.

The linked page says nothing about what it is.

I work full time in the Ruby ecosystem and I have no idea what your project is.

How can people forget to say what their project is at all?

It's a remarkably common problem. So many open source projects fail to put the elevator pitch in their README.md or landing page for their site. You're apparently supposed to just guess?
Sounds like I'm in the minority that saw the name and assumed right away it was FaaS (Functions as a Service) for Ruby? (Though to be sure, a project will live or die based on the quality of the documentation)
What does the 't' stand for, though? I thought it was fast-ruby to start with https://github.com/JuanitoFatas/fast-ruby.
It is fast, but with 2 a's :P

I assumed it was just put in there to be clever :-)
Looking at the website it almost looks like FaaS + Ruby
Same for me, I worked with Ruby as well and I don't get what the project is supposed to be about.

Exactly, we barely have time to read what's new, let alone spending time digging into what this "new" thing is suppose to be.
