How does it compare to Padrino? Which also fills the gap between sinatra and rails.

  Padrino is nice, too. It's definitely more mature than Happy, and a little more complex I guess. Now I'm thinking about trying to port the `def route` style dispatch to Padrino, because I still feel that it's superior to the `method url, options do` pattern. That might just be the Happy excitement talking, however.

    Why do you feel it's superior? It feels distinctly clunkier to me. I'm not opposed to new things, but powerful DSLs are one of Ruby's best perks.

      Because then you have to handle things like route precedence, method routing, "resource" mapping, etc. The `def route` way is very linear, you have one point of entry and that's it, the code just flows from there. With a bunch of `match /xyz` statements, or even a routing layer, the connection is less direct and potentially more prone to bugs.
