It's been a week now since my "Just lost another one to Rails" post, in which I said that a buddy of mine down in the States was switching to Ruby, after using Python for two years, because he and his colleagues needed a lightweight, ready-out-of-the-box web app framework. Responses so far seem to fall into several camps:
And then there's all the people like me who think this whole the-sky-is-falling stuff is silly. From my point of view the people who are promoting ruby the most are python web developers! At pycon you could hardly go five minutes without someone or other distressing about how completely awesome RoR was and how nothing in python could possibly compete oh no. It's really not that awesome, but it does get quite a few things right. That's nice.
But then again, I've never been one for mainstream solutions anyways...having run AOLserver for the last 5 years or so, before seeing the light and switching to Twisted, then getting too involved and suckered into overhauling the twisted web server. So excuse me if I just give a big *yawn* to this whole subject and proceed to silently take over the world. *grin*
