btw: anyone else thinks Rails was mentioned too much in the release note?
- danmaz74 12y agoYes I also thought the same thing... on the other hand, it shows dedication to the most important driver of Ruby adoption.
- Argorak 12y agoI'm not sure, most of my Ruby jobs are puppet and chef nowadays.
- Jgrubb 12y agoI promise that puppet and chef are not how the majority of people first hear of Ruby.
- Argorak 12y agoThat really depends on your field of work. For web developers, maybe not, for admins: yes. Also, they might not be the thing people hear about first, but they are still heavily driving actual adoption. (FWIW: I'm chair member of the largest european Ruby non-profit, I speak to a lot of newcomers ;))
- kyllo 12y agoThat's changing. I work at a Fortune 500 company that's strictly a Java shop and will probably never use Rails. Hardly anyone there has even heard of it. But we are using Chef to configure Red Hat VMs and deploy app builds.
- briandear 12y agoRails was mentioned once, unless I missed something.
- blacktulip 12y agoParagraph 3 and paragraph 4
- dagw 12y agoanyone else thinks Rails was mentioned too much in the release note? I think it's smart, and one of the big reasons Ruby seems to manage version-to-version transition so well. Just look at python 3 to see what happens when a language moves forwards without taking its biggest 3rd party libraries into account.
- bwilliams 12y agoI don't think so. I think it shows that the Ruby devs are really in touch with community.
