What platforms (OS) do you target, and what are you using for UI? MacRuby with HotCocoa may use say bootloaders from Merb, however, I am sure there is everything you can think of in Cocoa already for app lifecycle and plugins initialization. Same with other mature UI frameworks. I see further extractions from merb beneficial for people who use EventMachine and Nanite, because there is a huge gap between "bare EM" and "full blown background task framework" like starlings and worlings of all sorts. And if what you need is just a hot code swapping and Erlang like supervision trees of processes to build a specific EM daemon or complex nanite worker, there is nothing for you in the Ruby space right now. Actually, probably because both hot code swapping and supervision trees are hard to get done "the right way" in Ruby, that it makes perfect sense to go with Erlang right from the start, and integrate with say a Rails app via messaging broker like RabbitMQ ;) But this is a completely different story.
