Yep, both languages have their highs and lows. Its just the fine balance they (Rails) needs between self-promotion and focusing on Rails. The Rails guys I have talked to seem pretty smart, and I'm sure if they wanted to they could whip out a decent tracker in a few weeks. On the other hand Trac works for them, so why bother, I'm sure they would all rather work on other things. The humor in my mind is that this is somewhat in contrast with the "OMG Rails is the easiest and best thing ever" message a lot of the zealots love. --Noah PS: Though I'm not a Railsophile, I do like Ruby overall a lot :) Beats the pants off working in Smalltalk for any length of time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
