Thanks for the suggestion. Just to be clear, the problem to me is not Hobo. The problem is Rails. There is simply no reason that each new version should break the whole ecosystem of software around it. This makes everything ridiculously brittle. If we have *one* plugin that has decided not yet to support an upgrade, we're in a world of pain. It's all because Rails sticks to no interfaces. Whereas other platforms have interfaces, accessibility restrictions, and callbacks, Ruby and Rails have alias_method_chain and the send hack.
I really think DRYML is something brilliant that gets at what a lot of people have wanted for a long time -- a templating language that is both declarative, extensible, and almost object oriented in a kind of way. I've heard talk of separating it from Rails so that it might be used with something like Merb. Ultimately, down the line, I think DRYML is so good that it would be worth thinking about porting it over to different platforms even.
