@DavidRobertRoy.

But all of what Rails promises is already available and tested with a large user base now. Take a look at ww w.springframework.o rg. It was only a few months ago that Rails supported i18n, and from what I read, that was a compromise.

It seems that the Rails community is trying to reinvent an already perfect wheel. I don't really get it. The thing that pisses me off most is the RailsEnvy videos on here. They show the "I'm better than u" mentality of RoR (and often Mac) users.

no, you dumbass. 

twitter moved from rails to scala to handle the back end, because twitter found rails could not scale quickly enough to deal with the growing load.

get your facts right before you spout your bullshit u twit.

@WebDevFTW I agree that Ruby as a language is clean and agree Rails is simple. It can be very difficult though once one strays from the framework AFAICR (been a while!). So difficult that it might've been better to use something more flexible/scalable to start with. The thing that got my back up about Rails is the hype and the putting down of other frameworks. It seemed to attract fanboys and that made me sick. DHH is an arrogant to**er too from what I've heard! Peace.

What people need to understand about Rails is the reason so many people love it is because it's ease of use, strong community, and speed. I think the main thing that separates Rails from Many large-enterprise frameworks (excluding KohanaPHP) is its strong community base. You think 37Signals and Heinemmer-Hannson write all of rails to this day? No. People are constantly making improvements everyday and new git commits are pushed daily. Rails is a community project. Thats why people love it. ;-)

@LAnonHubbard I think RailsEnvy was just trying to be creative. But the main reason so many people are saying "Use Rails!" is because of its simplicity. On one hand because it's easy to build large-scale applications very efficiently as very quickly, but this is true with any well-built and well-rounded framework. And the other hand is because of the Ruby language. Ruby is syntactically clean, 100% object-oriented, and pretty easy to adopt and pick up quickly.

[jepalano]

@dpludwig Hmm.. and yet Twitter are looking for Ruby programmers? Thats odd!

[DavidRobertRoy]

If something "pissies" you off then your not looking at it from a logical perspective. I don't care what others think of there choice of computer, toaster, notepad, pen, ect.

Part of the negativity associated with rails was the scaffold with a lot of people failing to understand that you still need to write code.

As for scalability as i said before its a version 2 and has potential, as a developer i can fit rails, php, java, and objective c in where needed.
