While the dub documentation is not always the best, it seems to 
me to be in a better state than reggae's. I've heard about reggae 
a bit on the forum, but I never really made any attempt to try to 
use it. dub seems a lot simpler for small projects.

Maybe Atila could do a blog post with some simple examples and 
compare/contrast with dub?
