Developers searching for a framework that helps build applications in a functional style
About Giotto
It is based on the concept of Model, View and Controllers. The framework is designed to enforce a clean style that results in code that is maintainable over a long period. Other popular web frameworks are built with a mindset of launching fast. This results in code that will deploy quickly, but falls under it’s own complexity after many iterations. An example of a controller process is Apache, or gunicorn. A manifest is given to the controller process when it is started. All incoming requests to the controller process will be routed to a program contained within the manifest. A manifest is just a collection of programs. A user makes a request to the controller process. This can be a web request, or a command line invocation, or any other action that is handled by a controller process.

Sinatra
Sinatra includes a number of built-in settings that control whether certain features are enabled. Settings are application-level variables that are modified using one of the set, enable, or disable methods and are available within the request context via the settings object. Applications are free to set custom settings as well as the default, built-in settings provided by the framework. In its simplest form, the set method takes a setting name and value and creates an attribute on the application. Extensions provide helper or class methods for Sinatra applications. These methods are customarily listed and described on extensions home pages. Using an extension is usually as simple as installing a gem or library and requiring a file.
