”Like Ruby on Rails, Merb is an MVC framework. Unlike Rails, Merb is ORM-agnostic, JavaScript library agnostic, and template language agnostic, preferring plugins that add in support for a particular feature rather than trying to produce a monolithic library with everything in the core. In fact, this is a guiding principle of the project, which has led to third-party support for the ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and Sequel ORMs.”

(Via Merb | Looking for a better framework?.)

Ruby on Rails is where I dwell, having used it for a couple year now, but this new framework looks interesting.

This weekend I am going clone MacURLs.com in it and see how it performs.
