This seems a little weird to me. Like if I bought a Pepsi and someone from Coca-cola came up: "Pepsi, huh? Great choice! That stuff tastes pretty good, doesn't it? And that's the important thing. But you know, there are some pretty cool things about Coca-cola..." The opening enthusiasm sounds forced, like it's to gain my trust and set me up for a conversion. Not saying that's what's intended, just how it feels to me.
Is there some backstory I'm missing?
- judofyr 16y agoFinally someone who wasn't blinded by the creativity/stupidity of the last part of the email; ten points for Gryffindor! The goal of this post wasn't to convince you to switch to Camping, but to inform people that Camping is still alive and there are places where it's actually better than Sinatra. The problem is that people have misconceptions about Camping: old, ugly, not maintained (because why left), small community. While I don't care what framework you use, you should at least be aware of the current status of Camping before making a decision. It's more like: "But you know, there are some pretty cool things about Coca-Cola since you last tasted it four years ago". As for the writing style: I blame my Norwegian heritage and that English isn't my mother tongue. One time in the future though…
- steveklabnik 16y agoThe backstory is that I'm gearing up for a 1.0 release of Hackety Hack on Whyday, and while the current site is in Rails, I want the _entire_ project to be exemplary for learning. So I posted a thread entitled Camping or Sinatra? where I asked everyone for their opinions... and I decided Sinatra, because I know it best, and because of a few concerns this email addresses. Then this thread comes along.
