IMHO, most of the people leaving RoR for nodejs are only those types that just jump to the New Kid on the Block because it's new. First they switched to RoR because it was the new hawtness, now nodejs is. This group of people is large, but it does not mean that it is the smart path. I'm not suggesting that RoR or nodejs don't have good uses, or are bad technologies. I am only denigrating this one sub-culture. Let them bleed on the cutting edge, and use their experiences to judge the technology after they are bored. Though this supposed migration of the bleeding-edgers(tm) likely means it's a good time to properly evaluate RoR. :) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
