@cult hero, we are still working on the technical details so we can't really answer your questions. I'm working on a blog post which will hopefully address the concerns I heard in the last 24 hours.
We believe most merbists will be really happy with rails 3.0 since they will get everything they like in Merb + Rails 3.0. You will need to trust us and keep us honest. We believe we can do it, and you trusted us with merb, so trust us with Rails. If Rails 3.0 won't have what made Merb so special then it will be a total FAIL and I won't blame you if you want to go back to the merb code base and work from there. However, with 11 smart people on the project believing they can do it, I strongly think that the odds are on our side. - Matt On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 2:00 PM, cult hero <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is there really a point to asking specific questions about technical > details right now?
