In that light, merging Merb and Rails seems, in general, to be pretty counter productive (although I agree that Rails would likely benefit).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24599054.post-14484248878382921192008-12-30T11:27:00.000-07:002008-12-30T11:27:00.000-07:00"And even Ramaze is using Merb as dependency :)"Ho..."And even Ramaze is using Merb as dependency :)"<BR/><BR/>How so?
