Agreed. And possibly worth discussing. Why, for example, am I happy that Merb does away with the automagic rendering of view files, but comfortable with the way that display chooses _how_ to render things, based on the requested MIME type? I think that the critical difference, to me, is Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" That is, I want there to be some indication, in the code I'm looking at, that something is going to happen. I don't need the details, I can find those by following the method calls, but I want there to be some code saying "here be dragons". -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
