Personal preference certainly plays a big part in any platform choice; but there's hardly a lot our input can do about whether you "like" underscores or not. > Anyway, our site has to support a lot of traffic, requires a lot of > cron-like stuff built into the application, and we'll need to support > relational databases and something like cassandra. You can write poor-performing or well-performing applications in either. Unfortunately for your quest to make a decision, both Rails and Grails support relational databases and "things like cassandra" (as well as cassandra specifically), so that's not edging either of them toward a preference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
