[Lotus](http://lotusrb.org) is a really interesting new-ish Ruby framework - anyone interested in it or played with it yet?

Just found this post that looks interesting [Rails vs Lotus](http://teotti.com/rails-vs-lotus/)…

I’m currently “playing” with it. Doing some compatibility work on rubinius to run lotus on it. 😄

What I really like about lotus, it’s a clear and well written codebase.  
Also the philosophy of zero monkey-patching and bringing back better object orientation (vs rails dsl) is pretty awesome.

That’s neat Benny 👍 I like how some of the newer frameworks are looking at compatibility with performant Rubies (like Volt is with JRuby).

I don’t mind money-patching but love the idea of OO 🙂

I might “play” with it but won’t use it for serious project yet.  
Maybe bring some concepts back to rails (by writing gems)
