Since Rails is not multithreaded (yet), it seems like a threaded web framework would be a better choice for a Facebook application. (reason being is cuz each Rails process can only handle one request at a time, and facebook actions tend to be slow, because there is a lot of network communication between your app and facebook)
Has anyone used Merb to write a Facebook application? Is there a port of Facebooker (the Facebook plugin for Rails) to Merb?
We’ve used merb_facebooker in one of our projects (Rock the Vote), and it worked out pretty well. Testing Facebook apps is quite annoying, as you don’t have control of the middleware, so watch out for your expectations of the FB API and make sure you validate as much of them as possible early in the development stages (not trying out all the things we needed to do with fbML early on brought a few headaches).
