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

[Jonathan Soeder]

Nate,

Sinatra is a beautiful piece of work and it is extremely light weight.  I
use it for soederpop.com to serve a few small ruby apps which I deploy
through rack and passenger.  I don't know that I'd use it for a complete
application just yet, but for very simple scripts it is a godsend.
