Hi Andreas, Thank you! Yes, it covers essentially the same function. It is still in development, and a bit experimental. So far, the main difference is the environment file format, that is more flexible to describe MarkLogic environments <http://mlproj.org/environments>.
It is also meant to be extensible, and because it uses JavaScript, I hope it will be easier for people to extend it than using Ruby (just because it is better well-known). Another aspect is that is it meant to support several kinds of projects (a web application serving web pages in MarkLogic, or providing a RESTful API, etc.) The goal is to support people to create new types of projects, so users can start with a full-fledged scaffolding for the type of application then want to create (and not be restricted to only these I can come up with.) But as I said, it is still experimental, so I hope it will take feedback into account, especially features that newcomers and day-to-day users think are important.
