At minimum, it's as much of a negative as Gerrit being Java. Few of us know ruby very well, and managing the language and libraries is a pain in the ass, thanks to the ruby community. That said, it's no point worrying about this until we actually find something that's a reasonable alternative. I'm on the pro-gerrit side, as it works well for me and I see no other reasonable alternatives. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
