Rather than do the re-architecture now, they've chosen instead to move to a vendor who can provide them a high performance, high availability, non-commodity, proprietary network file server infrastructure. I suspect it will work well for t

This was the thing that sold me: $ macirb >> ''.class => NSMutableString MacRuby is Obj-C! Of course, this works both ways: some stdlib stuff is currently less reliable than using the Cocoa framework equivalent. Eithe

Thanks! Both the Rubygems Bundler and Rip (as Josh explains) are great examples of why "require 'rubygems'" might not always be the best idea. Bundler: http://github.com/wycats/bundler Rip: http://hellorip.com/

I'm also a crank. So is Rails core member Yehuda Katz. So is Rails core member Josh Peek. So is Rails core member Jeremy Kemper. Calling Ryan "the extreme odd one out" is a) untrue and b) unfair.

I would argue that, no, there isn't "standard Ruby behavior" in this instance. It's just a method.

Unfortunately try illustrates the exact problem with open classes so many non-Rubyists are afraid of: collisions. try was originally defined as: class Object def try(method) send method if respond_to? method end end

From the comments: Getting Real was primarily about software development. Rework is primarily about starting, running, building, growing (or not growing) a business. There are some shared ideas between the books, but Rework was written fro
