rack (and hack)  permits also to concatenate applications (request handlers) one in top of the other. with interesting combinations (filters, encriptation layers, applications as such). It seems that this is the reason for its name. At first sight it seems too little code to make something useful, but it´s fine.

Hi Michael,

what is your experience with hack? Do you have any problem moving your
apps from one server/env to another?
