Try merb, merb-slices, and datamapper is probably the closest you can get in ruby.

Merb looks great! An interesting development that's happened, is that it's gonna merge with Rails for RoR v3.

I suspect that RoR v3 will not be as awesome as merb. It will be a compromise.

That's an interesting POV. I wish I had the time to explore merb. Perhaps, someday.

I think you need to define a little closer what you mean by "Django-like". Depending on your exact definition, any of these might fit the bill:

Well I meant much cleaner, having less number of files.RoR somehow struck me as a framework with a lot of files.I'm beginning to make my peace with it though.There's too much to lose (the community for instance) by not going with *the* web framework for Ruby.

If less files is what you are after, then Sinatra, Camping, Ramaze and other microframeworks might be what you're after: they are generally designed to keep the entire application in one file.

Is having less files really a deciding factor on choosing a framework?
I agree that keeping track of a smaller number of files is easier on the brain, but I would choose a framework on:
- documentation
- size of community
- maturity
before I woried about file count.
