I'm sorry though I feel I have to rant a bit. I'm coming into Pylons and TurboGears from Ruby on Rails. I frankly don't get it: Why Rails? Why the DSL quagmire? and more importantly, why the hype? I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but hear me out please. In my mind there is little debate on what code is cleaner, faster, and more scalable. That would be Python. The only debate a Rubyist may have is out of pure ignorance. With that being said, the saturation of Python and frameworks like Pylons and TurboGears seems exponentially smaller. Its as though its some sort of secret... In similar light, please consider jQuery. jQuery's library is a quarter of Dojo. Dojo is modular in design, includes a far better build system (complete with un-awkward versioning), and boasts some of the most feature rich controls I've seen in any of the JS libraries. Yet the world treats jQuery as the invention of the wheel. This, even though jQuery's selector engine (Sizzle) is from the Dojo Foundation.... So, I divert the topic from technical questions to this rant to ask you: Why and how is it possible for the industry to allow us to degrade the progress of technology in favor of good marketing?
