They really need to change the name. Something that rips off Sinatra less and promotes the fact that its a micro-framework. Besides that I would love to take it for a test drive.
It's kind of funny because originally it was called step and then they renamed it a few months ago. I liked step better.
We renamed after we discovered another framework named Step. The new name has the advantage of being easier to search for, but I do sincerely apologize for the name of the scalatra-scalate module. Glad you enjoy the framework!
