Merb - A new Ruby framework

Merb (Mongrel+ERB) seems to be a new addition to the Ruby based frameworks. Like Rails, it complies to the MVC architecture. But instead of having all the components as part of the core, it relies more on plugins. It therefore claims to have a lighter footprint which can be extended through plugins. This makes it ORM agnostic, template language agnostic. Plugins are available for ActiveRecord, DataMapper, Sequel ORMs.

In short Merb has all the good features of Rails and more and is lighter and faster.
