I can't help but wonder how this would change anything. Ruote's users gravitates around Ruby so I don't see how changing the language of version 3 would fix this. Better to simply start a whole new project. Sure scaling down some features, reducing the codebase, etc can help but I'm really not quite sure about the language thing... It's true we see a lot of inquiries about "how to integrate with Rails" but that's probably because there's a need. What if `we` (Ruote's users - not John) try to fix this: develop a project which helps integrating Ruote with Rails (not Ruote in Rails) while keeping a clean demarcation between both of them? It's precisely what I'm working on. Could that be helpful? Too little to late? regards, -- Danny Fullerton Founder Mantor Organization
