The subject is the quote on Ezra's blog today. They've officially
announced that Merb and Rails are merging into Rails 3.0. Read more

Amazing!

Whoa, that is amazing! I'm really excited to see two great
communities in Ruby-land working together.

It's not April 1: check.
The sky is still blue: check.
No obvious time paradoxes, plagues, or famines: check.
Yeah... did not see this one coming. It'll be interesting to see how
they wind up merging, with (as far as I can discern) basically
distinct code bases implementing the same functionality.

Yeah, it definitely won't be easy. But merb was started as a "clean
room rewrite of Action Pack" as Ezra has put it. He didn't want to
abandon Rails entirely, just redo some stuff that was holding it
back. Well, that kind of mentality has paid off big time. I'm
excited to see this happen. And they say "spring" is the goal to get
it done. I sure hope that's not an April 1 joke. :-)

If so it would definitely be the most epic April fool's joke ever played, ever!
I'm pretty excited about it. I think the hard part will still be convincing enterprises to move to Rails. Merb was our hope for getting Ruby into companies that didn't like having to use ActiveRecord. On the plus side, we really do have one true framework for Ruby now!
