Just to add my $0.02 to this, not that it matters, but my background is
PHP with bits of .NET and lots of Python (but no Ruby/RoR), and I do
disagree with this. My preference is Python, and I find it gives me
nearly everything I need - web programming through TurboGears, right up
to GUI programming with PyGTK. However I think the lesson to learn is to
use the right language for the right project. If I was doing a
high-traffic shop, I would use PHP. A data-smasher/community project
(aka "Web 2.0") - Python with TG. Server code - Python. Shrink-wrapped
GUI apps - probably .NET. You use the right tool for the right job every
time, and that very rarely has anything to do with performance or static
typing. When I write server-side code, I use Python, because I can write
accurate applications in minimal time. If it's too slow, we buy more
servers and go parallel. Programmer time is always more valuable than
CPU time, and I would only use .NET/Java/C+{0,2} where more hardware is
not an option.

Why not migrate to .NET or JSP?
Don't waste time learning yet another spaghetti scripting language,
learn a viable application development platform that businesses are
looking for talent in. All the tools are now FREE :-), including for .NET.
And yes, they have MANY facilities for reporting. RoR is a scripting
language, seriously think about a real application development language.

Does Ror or some other ruby project have some thing to help about
make/print database reports?
