Ruby in general is one of the easiest languages to code in that I've ever seen. It also makes it easy to use lambdas in a much more natural fashion than I've seen before.
Rails is the simplest and easiest framework I've seen for building web applications. No one chooses Ruby (or Rails) because it's fast (that would be silly, since it's not), we choose it because it helps us be more productive, and spending more on server power to run slow code is cheaper than spending more on developer time. If you can find, hire and retain a group of coders who can work efficiently and elegantly writing website in C++, that would be a pretty fast website. I wouldn't try it, though. > 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 Linhareshttp://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.
