I was at NFJS too... Dave Thomas' RoR presentation was eye poppping! I think the main concern with RoRs is the scalability. Ruby currently only has "green" threads. That is to say, it has an internal threading model and it only uses a single native thread. It can spin off ten native threads to scale across multiple processors. However, native thread support is due for Ruby 2. Also, Dave mentioned that some commercial deployments were using clusters of RoR deployments to get around this problem. It's also worth noting that you can serve a ~lot~ of concurrent users on a single native process if you're careful with how you work. I've got Dave's beta book on Rails and am trying to make time to spend more time in it. Jared

Subject: RE: [Juglist] "Web Framework Smackdown" Heard a lot about RonR during the NFJS symposium earlier this month. Anyone deployed any comercial grade applications with it yet? I heard about Basecamp. But I am trying to find other examples/experiences. Some experts on the NFJS panel were saying it is not ready for prime time yet. Scalability and maintainability were their main concerns. -Anirban --- Jared Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hmm ...
