I’ve been playing around with merb recently (version 0.4 was released last week). Merb is a small ruby MVC web framework. It concentrates on providing a small core of features and leaves it up to you to do the rest either through plugins or custom code. For example, it doesn’t provide a database ORM layer but you can can use ActiveRecord, DataMapper, or Sequel by selecting the appropriate plugin. The Merb code is small and easy to understand. One of the nice things about it is that you can dive in and understand what’s going on in a very short amount of time.
