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. + +In addition, it means that the core code in Merb is kept simple and +well organised. This has multiple benefits. It means it's faster +for one thing. It's also easier to understand, maintain and extend. |
