The "micro" refers to how much the framework does for you, rather than the size of the application. The advantage of a framework like Ruby on Rails, is that it provides you with a well-written basis from which to build your application. This can make it easier to get started. The disadvantage is that it ties you into a specific structure, which can be a hindrance if you happen to need something the framework doesn't provide. Micro-frameworks provide more freedom, at the cost of having to do more setup work at the beginning. It's not unusual for large sites to be run on minimal web frameworks. For instance, up until recently, Reddit ran on web.py. - James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
