I guess that what you miss about rails is the MVC architectural layout, but that's not specific to RoR and you can use it wherever you want, even in the webapp microframework for google app engine: have a file or module for models, another

I'm in your exact same situation, man; I've developed in php , python (with django and webapp) and little webapps in ruby with sinatra. I begun with rails 3 (and rails in general) two weeks ago, and am feelin' the progress rather slow. I th

Well, sounds like you got some `chown` to do... Some security considerations can't be overlooked, granted; but don't fret, it was possibly put there client side(One might even hypothesise that a WYSIWYG editor put it there by default, but I

Man, that's boring: I scored 19 :( I've always seen myself as an introvert and self-centered guy, but I seem to work very well on social stuff, it's like some superpower I refuse to acknowledge.

I think I made a mistake in my statement: it's not some random markup like textile or markdown, but the idea is more akin to a LaTeX-y interface, a WYSIWYM web-based editor. You have a good point, however, 'cause, coming to think of it, I w
