In a bit of surprise news, Rails merges with the Merb team.
The implication will be that the efforts of the two frameworks won’t be duplicated across the teams. Users of merb will be able to enjoy the third-party support that Rails enjoys – for example Rails is bundled with the latest Mac OS X, and Eclipse has the awesome RadRails.
My previous reservations re: RoR may now be fast disappearing. Look for future blog post that re-evaluates the position.
From YehudaKatz’s blog: On to the news: beginning today, the Merb team will be working with the Rails core team on a joint project. The plan is to merge in the things that made Merb different. This will make it possible to use Rails 3 for the same sorts of use-cases that were compelling for Merb users. Effectively, Merb 2 is Rails 3.No related posts.
