I don't know, what advantage is received by developers from popularity of language, from popularity of framework. But the fact remains. One develop a product from beginning to end, others - hope that people will get into source codes and all will understand, or someone another will write good documentation. If it is open-source the project, it is not necessary to hope that someone another will complete for you documentation.
Really very many people stop and leave from Ruby and Ruby on Rails use only in the absence of good documentation. Documentation is a lifebuoy for the beginner. And you suggest to rush to study of source codes directly. It very much frightens off beginners. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
