[Chirb] Sinatra WAS => Re: Rails vs Merb

[Nate Kirby]

Jonathan,

Not horribly out of date...That would be more like "Hey guys there is a 
new framework at http://rubyonrails.org/ ".  :)

However, this does bring a question to my mind.  Has anyone used or 
thought about using Sinatra <http://sinatra.github.com/> ?  It looks 
very lightweight - looks even lighter than Merb was before rails started 
swallowing :).

Blessings,
Nate
