While he may not be able to "see the merb", it's a good way to prove that the desired end-user experience can be achieved. I don't think it's an unexpected response to a proposal to use a language he's likely never heard of before.
I haven't found a list of production sites using merb, but you can always make the rails comparison and cite pages like yellowpages.com. When he sees a Ruby framework being used on a site that is an instantly recognizable brand, it should help ease his concerns. Then, when the inevitable question of, "Why don't we use Rails, then." just tell him that merb is faster. :) Of course, this is how I'd present this kind of proposal to MY boss. I'm still a young programmer, and HOPE that not all programming departments have a boss as tech ignorant as my own. -Ryan Schremp On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 07:47, Justin Reagor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I need to persuade my boss to start a new project using merb.
