"Why is this interesting?"
I think you just answered your own question. ;)
Zed (and his code) is very well-known, intelligent, and important to the Rails community. Whatever you may think of his perspective or how it's been presented, he has some ostensibly valid criticism and it will certainly be interesting to see how people will react to it.
- raju 19y agoAgreed. I checked out Zed Shaw after reading the article (I did not know anything of him except that he wrote Mongrel) and was very impressed [http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/5455-zed-shaw http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/5455-zed-shaw]. He obviously is a very important, and known member of the Rails (and Ruby) community, and I am anxious to see the response the community has to his throwing in the hat. I personally have not interacted with the rails community (but have with ruby's) so I don't have an opinion as to whether he makes any good points, but taking him at face value, I have to admit I am a little disappointed. Again, it will be interesting to see how this turns out...
- queensnake 19y agoDid you see at the bottom where he says Dave Thomas' Pickaxe book killed Ruby? I gotta see that.
- raju 19y agoSure did... That piqued my curiosity too...
