In my last post we talked about a variety of Ruby web app frameworks. If you're disgusted by the recent proliferation of options (and who doesn't hate options?), you can blame Rack, as it provides the foundation for many of these upstarts.
Rack is to Ruby as WSGI is to Python; a clean, minimalist interface between web frameworks and web app servers. What this means to you, Joe Average Ruby Developer, is that you can use Rack to build your own frameworks and tools with ease, and then deploy them without writing server specific interfaces for Mongrel, WEBrick, or FastCGI (or Thin, Ebb, and Fuzed!). It'll just work.
