The Merb & Rails dev groups have decided to merge their two projects into one.
This merger in unprecedented. I can't recall a situation where two such projects, with such orthogonal but functionally overlapping code bases, were joined together. Sure, there have been projects that have been joined, but these were either two forks of a single original project recombining, or two projects that were usually combined in installation.
I think this one announcement illustrates the power of Ruby more than anything else could. This kind of thing wouldn't even be possible, outside of Lisp. Certainly, the Python community is strewn with the corpses of duplicate projects. Even the Numpy/Numerical Python guys had *major* issues.
