Can't help but notice the lack of Padrino ( http://www.padrinorb.com/ ) on this list. Granted, it's a layer on top of Sinatra... It's really quite fantastic. Please do look, and run the stack on 1.9.2 :)

Absolutely, rvm, per-project .rvmrcs and bundler are a winning combination. Not sure how I worked before these were available.

I think it's fine to go to Rails 3 at this point, so long as you're aware of the potential pain points (and as a older seasoned Rails dev, I'm sure you are). I would still probably shy away from Ruby 1.9.x unless you knew that all the tool

You're correct, my mistake.

In some cases the gain is more dramatic, and in other cases, that 2% gain may be worth it. If you're simply learning a language I don't believe looking at benchmarks is a good way to do so. Typically the most performant options are hacky

Looks to have been fixed(?), perhaps the 2 day old project wasn't ready for the HN frontpage.

If you're entirely new to the ecosystem, I would not be running Ruby 1.9.x or Rails 3. It may seem counter-productive to learn 'legacy' software, but these version will be around for a while I'm sure, you'll not hit nearly the snags you cu

I'm not sure the relevance to the OG post, but I'll grant you that Rails 3 is less than stable, thusly it's tagged RC2, ie: not a release proper.

I hadn't gone so far as to investigate that yet. Oh well. Perhaps we can get them to budge :x

Especially with the community aspect, forking, improving, pushing back. Maybe I'll feel ambitious tomorrow o_O

I'll never understand why some people are so opposed to learning new languages, especially one which won't change your current ecosystem and greatly improve your life (and quickly).

Perhaps even the syntax JS should have had from the beginning, with it's heavy Lisp inspiration.

I've found it's an even greater issue in Node, while the core library is solid, it seems like _a_lot_ of the people developing the 3rd party libraries are missing some very fundamental CS. Bah. There's a price to pay for shiny things, eh?

I'd be willing to bet that this book http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Java-TM-Virtual-Machine/dp... covers that, but I've not personally read it.

These are the main issues that have caused me pain in my usage of Clojure, so you're fairly on the mark. Some of the issues lend themselves to google more than others, but it would be nice to have some sort of tome (in preferably less than

Awesome, there's a copy of this on the bookshelf at work. Will report back with it's friendliness(or lack there of) to beginning Java devs.

For me personally, finding a mentor was a huge eye-opener, but that was mostly because I didn't realize that I was(and likely still am) doing it wrong. The fact that you're self-aware and seeking out the information to further your craft bo
