Ruby Archaeology: Forgotten web frameworks
summary
Nitro is pre-Rack and often ties into CGI while its OG ORM claims to auto-infer Ruby classes to database schema and migrate automatically, which author struggles to reproduce but points to radical compression. Ruby waves wires routing via funktor pattern‑matching and ships auto code for reloadable autoloading though a benchmark shows C extension autoloaders beat it by ~3.6–4x. Remains exposes an innate core plus a Tani templator that once claimed big ERB wins but later benchmarks undercut that. Many projects fade around 2009 as Rails/Merb consolidation collapses ecosystems.
