Quote: Ruby on Rails is indeed ... the driver of the interest in Ruby, which, after all, has been around for years without generating the kind of surge it's seen in the past six months. But as you can see, we're on the fence about whether or not Python has an answer to RoR (and we're not even asking the question about Perl!)
