Fine effort indeed. But do not forget, he had to do all that heavy lifting just to fit into google's corporate policies. To me JavaScript makes very little sense because I like RoR mostly for the first 'R'.
Putting Ruby aside, I don't see much of "rapid" or "pragmatic" (most hyped words) in Rails. I am coming from ASP.NET and I don't see "Rails" part as a major step forward. The need to manually implement most of user logins/accounts/sessions in Rails alone killed all the time savings I had provided by ActiveRecord.
Frankly, I don't see why everybody is so hyper on MVC. I has been around for ages, old&stinky MFC in 1991 had doc/views but nobody calls MFC cool :-) Is that because more and more of web development is done by people without CS degrees who had never heard of MVC before?
- staunch 19y agoEvery once in a while someone manages to create an especially great implementation of some technology or methodology that really shows its power. That's what RoR has done. s/MVC/OO/g; s/MVC/FP/g; s/MVC/XP/g; etc.

- tyler 19y ago"Is that because more and more of web development is done by people without CS degrees who had never heard of MVC before?" Is that jab really necessary? There are very distinct advantages to getting a CS degree, for certain. But, knowing what MVC is/was and having a CS degree have very little in common.
