The point I was trying to make, before a horde of retards modded me down, was that C# and F# address different challenges and are not designed to replace each other.

> My limited experience with it tells me F# would be a good general-purpose replacement for C#. Yes, in the same way that a hairdresser would be a good general-purpose replacement for a pizza.

Check his HTML. Judging by the unsemantic markup I'd say this chap has a way to go before lecturing us on software quality. I mean, <p> </p>, really.

You're kind of asking two questions in one: PHP or Python? and Framework or homebrew? If you switch from PHP to Python and things don't work out, you'll blame Python. I'd stick with PHP. If you use a framework and it doesn't work out you ca

The capistrano approach is to collect a set of SQL sequences that will alter a sample server configuration from one configuration to another, with the purpose of repeating this on other servers such as your production server. This is fine i

Deploy by svn. It's amazingly simple, and simple is usually best. If you're smart you can orchestrate db changes non-destructively. If less smart use capistrano.

The problem isn't that rails is insecure (it is, but that isn't the point.) The problem is that rails by definition attracts developers who don't really like developing. If the entire USP of your platform is that it cuts corners you'll see

Obviously the C# guys are on their yachts or flying their planes at the weekend. The Ruby people would have web access from their security guard jobs.

I've seen people do great, well-commented code at interview, and then after I recommend them, they turn into mediocre 9-5 coders. People always misrepresent at interviews; I can't think of a way around this.

I think the OP is trying to say that all dynamically typed, interpreted languages are implemented in statically typed, compiled or JIT languages. If you like the discipline of the latter, you might resent the former.

JRuby isn't polarizing; Ruby attracts already polarized people (present company excepted.) I can't think of another language that has attracted as many idiots. Visual Basic comes close, with alarming parallels.

So we should stop developing browsers because "Stop using IE6! Use this browser, which is marginally better." is more convincing.

Don't blame C. This is usually the point that programmers realize why statically typed languages are such a good idea.

I have a full time gig as web developer, plus a blog that gets around 30-40k uniques per day. I'm also working on a charity-focused bodycare line and I have a screenplay under development. My current web project launches in September.

Unlike Apple, most PC makers seem to feel a $399 POS is an obligatory part of their line. It is not inconceivable that those types of product - oversold underdeliverers - are the ones that bump up the PC numbers.

It's quite disturbing to discover that it isn't just Rails that has the hobbyist-level db implementation. In fact, there's no point for Rails to improve its lock-happy db adapters, since doing so will just reveal the Ruby bottleneck describ
