Maybe some day people will finally realize what's so awesome about Ruby on Rails. It's not the libraries and the fact it's been around for almost 8 years now. No, it's simply the language. Ruby is a fantastic language and an addictive one at that. Once you get a feeling of how productive and expressive it is, it's enough of an incentive to keep at it. The same goes for Python by the way, another GREAT language. One day people will realize that Javascript just doesn't cut it.
- j45 14y agoI think you totally missed my point. I was just speaking to how Railists too often, do not openly consider or think anything productive, well structured, or maybe even great could have existed before, or at the same time as Rails for the web. We forget the difference between a language and a framework as well. Too many folks short sightedly compare a language to a framework. Frameworks will always evolve and change, and few rarely do anything new or novel, just like languages may, but they're entirely different things.
