??? Merb, which is Mongrel plus Erb, is a small, fast web development framework written
by Ezra Zygmuntowicz that is meant to complement Rails. For more information about
Merb, visit http://rubyforge.org/projects/merb.
The needs and stresses that these and other frameworks put on Active Record continue to
bring enhancements to Active Record. Merb, for instance, has provided insight and solutions
to concurrency in Active Record. The benefits to Active Record from being used in new situations
outside of Rails such as these are great. We also believe that these uses help to prove that
Active Record is already a rich, dynamic, and robust ORM library that continues to get better!
Adding Your Own Two Cents
As we mentioned at the start of this section, the future of Active Record is really up to those of
us (including you now) who use it day in and day out. If there??™s a feature you think is worth
adding, or a problem you??™ve hit that Active Record doesn??™t already address as you would like it
to, you can try to get your solution added to the library source.
