If you haven’t read Zed’s rant, yet, do so now: Rails Is A Ghetto
Here are my two cents..
I never got into RoR myself. Looked at it. Saw some weird stuff. Dropped it. When I had to write some “web services” I wrote my own stuff. No Mongrel at that time. Later, when Mongrel was around, I had to work with it. And, well, it was ok. But I saw things I didn’t like. But I guess if you could see my code, you’d puke.. :) So what the heck..
But what about Zed.. He’s funny.. The rant is funny.. But I did not really get the ’smart’ part. About smart people and everything.. Wouldn’t someone ’smart’ see it coming all along? Now he doesn’t exactly say he’s smart (or that he’s not).. But I’m saying: It’s a funny rant. But in a way it’s also redundant. Look at the Rails community.. That’s enough.. :)
I currently enjoy writing Java code for the J2ME platform. How sick is that? Pushing my second (commercial) mobile project out the door. Woohoo. 2008 – The Java Year. LOL. Looking forward to Android already..
Whatever.. Happy New Year, I guess..
