Rails 3 and Merb - Robby on Rails
A great entry on the issues merging Merb with Rails that might arise. Robby makes some interesting points–if “convention over configuration” is the motto of Rails right now, is it really that great of an idea to add more choices, such as what ORM to use? I have confidence in the Rails and Merb teams that they’ll think hard about these things, but they definitely need to keep the entry barrier low for Rails.
