Padrino - The Elegant Ruby Web Framework

Padrino (Godfather, translated from Italian) is a new ruby ​​framework written on the basis of Sinatra (DSL, designed to quickly create simple web applications). From myself I can say that this is a framework that combines the convenient functionality of Rails and the simplicity and speed of Sinatra.

Main features (missing in Sinatra):

• Full support for popular libraries
• Ability to create projects, controllers, models, migrations, etc. via padrino-gen
• Unlike other ruby ​​frameworks, designed with the ability to mount subprojects
• Routing support
• View Helpers: tag, content_tag, input_tag
• Asset Helpers: link_to, image_tag, javascript_include_tag
• Form Helpers: form_tag, form_for, field_set_tag, text_field
• Text Helpers: relative_time_ago, js_escape_html, sanitize_html
• The ability to send letters (analogue ActionMailer)
• Built-in admin (as in Django)
• Unified logging interface, with the ability to interact with ORM or any library used
• No need to restart the server after making changes in the development mode
• Localization support (Russian language support declared)
• Caching support (in development)
• Plugin support (in development)

To this you can add another excellent speed :
