People just don''t seem to get it:

Merb = Mongrel + erb
Rails = lot''s of stuff

Obviously Merb is easier to setup and will have better performance. Is 
that enough for you? Then go for it.

If not, Rails offers much more stuff to work with, and therefore there 
is a slight cost to it.

Merb is not an alternative to Rails, it serves a different purpose: do 
benchmarks against Rails and masturbate on the results as if it was the 
only thing that counted on the planet. Well that''s basically the only 
material I have found about Merb.

I''d like to see some Merb apps that truely compete against their Rails 
equivalent. Who has written a forum or blog in Merb?


Best regards,

This is a good article but doesn''t tell the whole story. If you are an
Open Source Ruby Ninja, then Merb will be a slam dunk for you. If you  
rely on Google to answer your questions about "how do I create a form  
tag in this dern thing", then you might find the community''s posts
are
not as helpful as the wealth of info you can get on Rails.

If you are in the category of developer who worries about scaling and  
thread-blocking mutexes and all the stuff Merb and DataMapper worked  
on in response to the "Rails is slow" whining, then you''ll
understand
and appreciate Merb. If you''re looking to get something built quickly,
then you might be better off sticking with Rails -- especially if you  
like grabbing prebuilt functionality in the form of plugins.

If you''re not sure, then by all means, find a tutorial that is  
somewhere close to the current RC of Merb, install it, and watch in  
amazement as yet another Ruby Web framework comes to life before your  
very eyes. You might start here:

http://merb.4ninjas.org/ (close, but not quite current)

Good luck!

is a talk on merb and its philosophy with respect to rails, followed
by talk on rubinius.
Damn cool.
