Everything about Merb
Model-view framework for the Ruby programming language
Merb is a discontinued model–view–controller web framework in Ruby, notable as a precursor to Rails 3. It brought increased focus on speed and modularity to Rails 3. The name Merb is a contraction of "Mongrel" and "Erb". Wikipedia →
