Re: Re: Rails <-> BC conversion

Also take a look at Nitro, another big Ruby framework. It's not as
popular as Rails, but I believe it's designed much better. It's also
somewhat Rails compatible and integrates with other frameworks in
Ruby. It's model package, Og, is a lot better than ActiveRecord and
takes much better advantage of the Ruby language.

Take a look sometime...
