Take these kind of comments to Reddit, you obviously know nothing about Rails and Ruby, especially Rack and Metal. "Metal components operate outside the realm of the usual Rails timing and logging components, so you don’t get any internal m

String.each is the same as String.each_line in ruby 1.8. This code rewrite seems to be the reason that code breaks on ruby 1.9 if body is a string (this is guarded against in the body setter). (ruby 1.9 removes String.each) http://github.c

Besides being vastly outdated, this article suggests that Java is on par with Perl when it comes to performance. In fact, Java is almost as fast as C++ on most computational tasks, and faster than most other languages ( http://shootout.alio

Boost ( http://www.boost.org/ ) could be the answer to many of the articles questions. The quality of the libraries is outstanding and documentation is comprehensive.

We switched to authlogic for our newest project. We even have a Rails project template that generates everything needed for authlogic (including mailer). If you're interested, check out the template here: https://svn.cubus.ro/svn/trunk/cub

"One such instance that led me to using Python over Ruby was my need of a DBF reader. You can't find this anywhere for Ruby, but I found a very solid implementation in Python that I was able to plug right in." Oh really ? http://www.google

First of all kudos to all Rails contributors, this seems like a great release. I agree the template feature is great, though at the moment not surprisingly a bit immature (template_runner.rb changed a lot in the last month, we'll see were i

We've been branching to a 2.x tree and slowly adapting to the latest stable release (up until yesterday 2.2.2). Surprisingly plugin compatibility was not the biggest issue we faced (and we use many plugins) - most problems caused by plugins
