Sinatra in SIX lines - How to do crazy stuff with Ruby
summary
A Sinatra-compatible implementation compresses core behavior into six lines, implementing configure blocks, sessions, helpers, before filters, route params and inline templates by leaning on Rack Tilt and Sprockets and using tricks (pack, here-docs, flip‑flops, global request, method objects) to shave bytes; a separate almost rack three-line runner handles config.ru, and an almost rack protection middleware outright rejects attacks (reportedly handling ~9,000 requests in an hour); people run it in production and blog analyzers parse the obfuscated-but-working code.
