Nancy vs Sinatra: What are the differences?

Nancy: A lightweight web framework for .NET. Nancy is a lightweight, low-ceremony, framework for building HTTP based services on .NET Framework/Core and Mono. The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy-path to all interactions; Sinatra: Classy web-development dressed in a DSL. Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort.

Nancy and Sinatra can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.

"C#" is the primary reason why developers consider Nancy over the competitors, whereas "Lightweight" was stated as the key factor in picking Sinatra.

Nancy and Sinatra are both open source tools. Sinatra with 10.6K GitHub stars and 1.9K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Nancy with 6.8K GitHub stars and 1.46K GitHub forks.
