Obviously not too enlightened. Django is crap? You must be a masochist. Rails has so many bad design decisions in it, I’m surprised anyone would use it for anything.

Try making a model called “resource” for starters. Convention over configuration is fine, for something simple. routes.rb is monolithic. Ruby embedded in HTML is the kiss of death. Scaffolding is pure trash. Shall I go on?

Alot of bloggers not too happy with the new iPad.There was 2 much hype about it and lots of people got disapointed.Quite frankly, I for one see lots of the awesome potential of the device. Third-party applications for playing music, games, newspapers and magazines and FFS books, all sorts of neat stuff, but IMHO they just didn’t really sell it properly (aside from the books). It smells kind of undercooked

slow down boys.. although it is highly entertaining..
no point to get all cocky here.
Ruby is an awesome language, Python is an awesome language, C is an awesome language… English is an awesome language… Rails and Django are just social clubs for people who are not fluent in their language and need a speech therapist.
No need to be all angry about those bloated MVC wrappers.

I agree with you – completely. I’m forced to work with Rails because my boss is a fanboy, and I feel like going on a murderous rampage every single day that I have to work in Ruby on Rails. Some of it is the language itself.

From my experience where I work, the Ruby fans love it because they’re R&D guys, who just produce new sites, and never have to maintain or upgrade anything. They just palm that off to others. And that’s where RoR takes a massive shit on itself.

I’d like to say that Django is actually the most promising Web framework that i know.

One of the most entertaining and (partly) true posts I’ve read in awhile.

Wow, just get closer to the processer and use c/c++ and the wt C++ library while bringing in whatever ORM thats makes you happy, even if its your own and build the system to your needs! There will always be things that dont fit your needs in a 3rd party package. Its like this everyone has always said if you want somthing done? Do it yourself!

I cannot believe there are people out there that prefer Django to RoR. Django is utter crap. There, I said it. And let me say it again. DJANGO IS UTTER CRAP. Development in RoR is sooo much faster and cleaner than using Django. All of you who disagree are morons.
