I was reading http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000545.html
and it has an emphasis on Ruby's "beauty", and parsimony, as demonstrated by the code excerpt (David: "I was more surprised to learn that someone would actually prefer something like"): class Project(meta.Model): project_manager = meta.ForeignKey(ProjectManager) milestones = meta.OneToOneField(Milestone) categories = meta.ManyToManyField(Category) p = projects.get_object(id__exact=1) pp = projects.get_list ...over: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :project_manager has_many :milestones has_and_belongs_to_many :categories end p = Project.find(1) pp = Project.find(:all) Then there's a whole presentation linked from that blog entry, in PDF at http://media.rubyonrails.org/presentations/pursuitofbeauty.pdf -- which seems to elaborate on ruby/ror beauty (implied over python/django). Adrian, can you pls fill us in on what exactly are the "beauty points" and what's your answer to that? Cheers, Alexy
