Merb and RoR Combines for Growth with Rails 3.0

Old news as it may be, the already powerful language that is Ruby on Rails is set to get a very much needed boost with their partnership with Merb. Why all the interest in so a discreet language? Well Twitter is one example which is based on RoR and as we can see, has swept the world by storm and has swayed many people to re-consider their old views of Ruby. The new and improved version of the language will provide more power in terms of customization options and add to that the speed which kept Merb on top of Ruby for some years now, it all has the making of a very productive partnership indeed.
The move is set to make rapid applications development a true reality with very powerful tools that would allow Ruby developers the speed of the tools built into Merb, getting apps out faster and thus cheaper. With the mix of the two, the email functions of rails is being overhauled to make them easier and would require less code than previously required. Rails is surprisingly very much faster than PHP in many aspects, why many stuck with PHP may have to do with the fact it was taught to a wider audience hence was adopted by more developers. The combination is set to make rails even faster than it is now and will be coming to an app near you in the very near future as the people behind the collaboration say it will result in a whole new generation of faster and better apps.
