Latest news: Camping 2.1!

Camping is a small web framework, less than 4k, a little white blood cell in the vein of Rails. See it for yourself. Most camping apps are just one single file, packed full of Vitamins MVC and b12. A pocket full of tricks to free you of the globally namespaced doom of Sinatra, and the complexity of Rails. Camping and Rails are good friends though, so you can be sure if you ever outgrow your tent, Rails will help make your app the Next Big Thing™.

Camping is the little wheels. Camping isn't serious business, but it's powerful and faster than most of the competition. Camping is for hackers and tricksters parasailing off the edge of the earth. Camping is because programming isn't for commerce. Camping is for creation and mischief. Camping is a toy. Camping isn't a best practice. Here's a blog:
