One of Damian's pictures in the article holds a quote where he says something about Rails enabling "not very strong" developers to build fairly sophisticated systems. I wish the author had included that part of the interview.

I had originally submitted this a few days ago (see: http://imgur.com/uCRZuU4 ), after learning about it from a game-related site ( http://www.gnomeslair.com/2014/06/avaus-text-adventure-so-yo... ).

Dina was great during the Windows XP days when ClearType wasn't the default screen setting. On Windows 7, where ClearType is already set, it doesn't look as good as it did before. (This is just my perception, of course.)

No mention of Lua? I guess the author hasn't tried it yet, either. (I haven't, but I was curious about his opinion on the language.)
