Rails and Merb Ruby Web Frameworks Merge 80
An anonymous reader writes "The Merb and Rails Core Teams today announced a major merger; the two projects will become one, and be released some time in Q2 of 2009 as Rails 3. This is great news for lots of folks who worried about the potential community fracture, as well as great news for all the developers who will now have an all-around better option for programming Ruby. Read more about the details in Yehuda's blog post, or at the Ruby on Rails blog."

Rails can only prosper from this (ugh, I hate how I'm phrasing this) 'merger'.
I agree. They can really leverage synergies and break down some silos with this.

Depending on who you ask, it's either to make good web developers more productive, or to make idiot web developers marginally productive. As an idiot web developer, I can only vouch for the latter. But I must say, I do love me some Rails.
