By what software engineering standards? Yours? > Ruby is modular, and for once the object oriented nature works quite well. Oh, so PHP isn't modular? Do you know that PHP has classes and interfaces? And that they do behave almost like Ruby classes and Modules? > ActiveRecord works well as well. > Show me php applications that can handle 400 different tables, that can be > developed by one guy in two weeks? What would keep a PHP application from handling 400 or 400.000 tables? I've never seen a PHP database driver saying that it had a maximum of tables they could handle, maybe you can point me out to this. And about being developed by one guy, i can't see the problem also. A good developer is good in any language he masters. > I've seen a few php developers that were ok, but its not something I'd > recommend a fortune 500 use to do a proper application. > Maybe you should know that Yahoo runs in PHP, Wikipedia runs in PHP, many of the biggest websites around use PHP. Crappy developers write crappy code, no matter what tool they use. I've seen some Ruby code that scared me to death, but the language isn't to blame, the blame lies on the people that use it. -- Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) João Pessoa, PB, +55 83 8867-7208 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
