My understanding is:

It can make use of XSLT, has PHP or JSP (or ERb)-like templates (but 
which are XHTML compatible, so that they can be validated and created by 
dreamweaver).

It has the same request/response model as Rails. Indeed, Nitro is most 
influenced by Rails, IMHO.

The only influence Nitro *currently* has from Wee is the programmatic 
html generation, AFAIK. It does not have components like WebObjects 
(IOWA), Seaside or Wee has.
