If you want to build something in your spare time, why would you use anything you didn't love? There are plenty of people/companies working with Rails. The fact that it is in decline *for you* (you let yourself be hired away after all) doesn't mean that the industry is being lured away from the power and expressiveness of Ruby (and Rails) so easily. -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
