Merb is a new, light weight MVC framework optimized for simplicity and performance. From the site intro: “Like Ruby on Rails, Merb is an MVC framework. Unlike Rails, Merb is ORM-agnostic, JavaScript library agnostic, and template language agnostic, preferring plugins that add in support for a particular feature rather than trying to produce a monolithic library with everything in the core. In fact, this is a guiding principle of the project, which has led to third-party support for the ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and Sequel ORMs.”

A quick runthrough of merb-slices, showing how to create a slice and then do some overrides from the main application. Merb-slices are like mini-applications that can be connected to your router. Akin to Rails Engines.
