I apologize if this is a stupid question, I'm asking Python group for perspective on Ruby, but I don't see how the alternative of going to a ruby group for a perspective on Ruby is going to do me any good...
I just unpacked and tried out InstantRails, after turning off the local Plone stack. Looking over the IR stack, making the required hacks to the examples, looking at all it's pieces(including some of the more powerful PHP support mixed in), looking at the shipped examples, I had to marvel again at how far behind these folks are compared to something like Zope. They are 10 years behind an integrated platform like that. I just don't get it. The scripted object-oriented clean programming language is done. I'm more than willing to supprt RoR if it's being sold as the popular alternative to .NET programming, which it is in some CS curriculum (where Java being thrown out). But, all those "END"s are getting on my nerves. Thx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
