I've wanted to do an article (or, more likely, a series of a few articles) 
like this for some time, comparing a handful of frameworks in a way that 
attempts to be meaningful and objective and educational.  The intent would be 
to clarify rather than to advertise.

Kind of like my post the other day about that question about creating HTML 
pages to edit database records that contain to_many relationships, but 
expanded to include fully equivalent examples.

I've wanted to do this for many, many months, but I lack the Rails or Nitro 
knowledge, doing all of my work with IOWA, myself.  And, to be of value, I 
think it'd be interesting to include one non-Ruby solution.  Take the market 
leading Java approach and include it in the comparison, too.
