Mack Framework: Saying Goodbye to ActiveRecord
Mark Bates, author of Mack framework, decided to support only DataMapper and remove native support of ActiveRecord in his project. He described the reason why he choiced DataMapper instead of ActiveRecord.

why not sequel?
I thought the key point of Mack was that it’s modular and will pretty much support any system.
Peter, you could still use any ORM with Mack, some one would just need to write the plugin to support it. I took out AR, not because I don’t want people to use it, but because I can only write so much code, so I chose the one I think is better to focus on.
Why did you remove the support you already had in there for it though? Is it because more extensive changes were needed across the board for ORM support and you simply chose to focus on DataMapper?
