Padrino is the new Rails on the Block !!!!!
Its for apps that dont need as much overhead as for Rails and more overhead then for a Sinatra app
Its a very Modular approach to making web apps and the best thing a very nice admin pannel which you can use for making protected CRUD interfaces..
The Generators are very similar to the RoR ones but better. You have a better choice of ORMs for example – mongomatic – mongoid – activerecord – minirecord – datamapper – couchrest – mongomapper – ohm – ripple – sequel – dynamoid
Test Frameworks: – rspec – steak – bacon – cucumber – riot – minitest
Renderers: – erb – haml – slim – liquid – erubis
script: – prototype – jquery – rightjs – mootools – extcore – dojo
stylsheet: – compass – sass – scss – less
Examples:
padrino g project your_project -d mongoid -b
padrino g project your_project -t riot -m rr
padrino g project your_project -d sequel -a mysql
