I still feel we the Merb “merger” was less than a merger and more of funding being cut for Merb development. Not sure if Engine Yard didn’t see a future in Merb or what, but it felt weird after so much rhetoric about the modularity of Merb over Rails to just see Rails gobble up Merb in just a couple of months. Either way, I wish I never threw out my sandals and I still miss Ezra :(
- mark_l_watson 6y agoEzra sat next to me the second day (he was giving presentations the first day) and we had some good talks. You say you miss him, is he not OK? If so, I am very sorry to hear that. EDIT: I just did a web search. Very sad. Long before I met him at the Merb conference, I appreciated some nginx plugin he did for uploading files with a progress meter - that was a long time ago.
- paloaltokid 6y agoI miss Ezra as well, he was a great example of someone who moved things forward just because he cared. Ezra also put way more effort and passion than anyone could reasonably expect into growing the Ruby and Rails ecosystem and community. I enjoyed listening to many of his talks.
