Rails - Jan 2009 - Web framework for embedded appliance?

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I figured someone here might know:  
I''m looking for a Ruby web framework that is suitable for developing a
web service on an embedded network appliance. RAM is an issue, but  
probably not as much as hard drive space. Too many requirements likely  
make Rails a less than ideal candidate for this. If anyone has ideas  
for what would work, any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Florian

Take a look at Lua:

http://www.lua.org/about.html

Runs on pretty much everything. And fast:

As far as "web framework" goes, take a look at Nanoki, which provides
a set of HTTP libraries implemented in pure Lua:

http://alt.textdrive.com/nanoki/

Here is an online demo of a wiki implemented in pure Lua:

Or at Kepler:

http://www.keplerproject.org/


You might find other Lua libraries at LuaForge:

The Lua user wiki maintain a list of libraries as well:

HTH.
