"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you... then they fight you, then you win."
Sometimes they laugh at you and keep laughing ;-)
seriously though, it is very tiring that the above quote from Gandhi is being used by the defender of every half assed idea as some kind of validation. (I am not saying that ruby or ROR is half assed). Sometimes things people laugh at are worthy of ridicule. And ruby/ROR has been around a while now, it should have moved to the "then you win" by now (and stayed there).
