Rails Rocks

"Blah, blah, blah... I've never used a Framework before... Blah blah blah... This is the best thing I've ever experienced... Blah blah blah."<p>Color me wrong, but I hate posts like this, just not cool.

My issue with rails is one of tone. There's something very off putting about the use of the word "evangelist" in the rails community. Everyone I've spoken to who uses rails gets this far-away, misty-eyed look when they talk about the framework. I love programming as much as the next guy, but there's nothing out there that inspires this kind of fanatical devotion in me.

Agreed, Rails has made web development even more fun and powerful than it already is.<p>In addition, Rails has also helped explode Ruby as a language. This is what pg should be doing for lisp, creating an easy to use, elegant framework built upon lisp. I haven't tried Arc yet, but I hope all the developers take a few cues from DHH and Rails.

Rails fapper...we all know only real programmers code in Ramaze :-) oh you could also throw in Lua as well.

Wow, talk about two years behind the bandwagon. How is this "News"?

Think Rails is better than Django?

Has anybody had any experience with TTD with something like rspec for rails? We're considering switching to that for some of our internal development applications, but I am curious to see what others think of it.

what a useless article. wow, rails rocks because it has mvc, you don't have to write sql statements and it's written in ruby!!!1! ActiveRecord is really one of the worst things about Ruby, largely due to DHH's hatred for DBMSes more complicated than MySQL 4. Also someone needs to tell him how RoR scales, heh.
