ActiveRecord is a small part of Rails. Lots of people use Rails without using ActiveRecord. See http://whitepages.com http://whitepages.com for an example.

  I know, but how much is left of Rails without ActiveRecord? I think validations and forms depend on it.

    Other parts of rails: actionmailer, actionpack, activeresource, and activesupport. Forms and validations don't depend on ActiveRecord at all in edge rails.
