Well, to be fair, while there are some complex parts in Nitro, one can 
safely ignore most of it and do simple, template-driven Web sites quite 
easily.  That, for me, is part of the appeal.  Use what you want, ignore 
the rest.

Here's an erb example:

# ---------- File run.rb --------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'nitro'
require 'erb'
require 'controller/main'

Nitro.run(Main)

# ----------------------------------

#--- File src/controller/main/rb ---

class Main
   def index
     @title = "Erb Example"
     @body = "<h1>Hello from Nitro</h1>"
     emit
   end

  private

   def emit
     template = ERB.new( html )
     template.result(binding)
   end

   def html
     "<html><head><title><%=@title %></title></head>
     <body><%= @body %></body></html>"
   end
end
