Pardon my ignorance, but Rails and Django seem pretty lightweight as they are... How are sinatra etc lighter (and thus easier to use somehow)?

- notahacker 16y agoAs a simple indication, Sinatra allows you to create an entire site by editing one (logically structured) file if you want. Rails and Django make a few more assumptions about what you're going to do (eg creating a directory structure and giving you easy shortcuts to create forms to edit pages) that are pretty useful when you're building a webapp and want to create multiple reusable parts, but may be overkill for a simple HotorNot type page.
