The Ruby Bandwagon

I really need to get on the Ruby (and more specifically, Rails) bandwagons. I mean, with quotes like these:

It takes about half or less code to put my stuff together in RoR than it did in PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, etc.

I use to worry about giving my client an estimate and then running over the alloted hours BIGTIME. Now, RoR has me UNDER the hours consistently.

Yep, really gotta just do it ASAP. I’ve read why the lucky stiff’s guide to ruby, at least the part that’s in The Best Software Writing I, so that’s progress, right? It’s not Progress, though.

    Well, aside from Progress not being a fad-of-the-moment Web 2.0 buzzword-compliant framework, I have nothing against it. ;) Where’s the bandwagon?

    I really just wanted to use a bad pun on the word progress. I’ve changed it so I don’t offend you fantastic Progress people :)

    Yeah it could be hype, but just because they find it faster than the three technologies mentioned doesn’t mean that they are all equal.

    But also, anyone who’s learned all four technologies enough to be really proficient and make a truly informed decision must write a lot of code or be a fast learner!
