Ruby Blog: Toto vs Nesta

Question

I need a simple and lightweight blog engine that plays well with Heroku.

Personally I'm a big fan of Octopress. It uses Jekyll in the background, is easy to theme and customize, has a nice list of features and plugins, is easy to hack and generates static HTML, which is perfect for my needs.

BTW: this question is rather off-topic on Stack Overflow.
