Pancake - stacken them up

Posted by gcao on November 25, 2009 — 2 comments
I came across Pancake today and feel it could be a game changer on developing rack based applications. Here is extracted from its readme:
While Rack provides the low level framework for building web applications on, Pancake provides a stack as a place to start your application. A stack provides a whole bunch of behavior for you including a router and middleware stack. The stack will accept any valid Rack application as the endpoint.
Sounds like it can greatly simplify managing a big site with multiple rack based apps, e.g. an authentication app + a CMS + more apps.

“” This is the next natural progression from the Merb experiment. I think Pancake is going to grab a lot of Ruby hacker types once it raises in the ranks of popularity and usability. I've already started experimenting with it on the side.cheapRoc - November 25, 2009 18:16
“” I agree - this is definitely something that I can see using. I've definitely been waiting for something to help me manage all the middleware when I'm outside the Rails stack.

I wonder - could you package (gemify) a pancake stack?dpickett - November 29, 2009 16:00
