If you want this site to excel as the top coder community, you need to keep up with the developments. Ruby is growing FAST, and its time to recognize it.
I haven't even gotten past the first chapter of my new Ruby book but I'm already convinced that this language is a winner.
But PHP does everything that I need. Along with the fact that there is a much (much) larger community, more hosting options and more functionality.
Why switch?
There is, but it is a sub-forum under the "other server-side languages" forum so it's not really obvious.
Judging from the number of posts in that forum... Ruby isn't growing THAT fast :D
what's amazing is I just moved your thread to the Ruby forum. :eek:

Yea, OK but a sub forum? c'mon...

Because Ruby is so much better that user experience MUCH less problems in their code, thus he lack in the useal "help, i get code errors..." threads. :D:thumbsup:
I must admit I was impressed when I first seen the scaffolding feature in Ruby on Rails some years ago. I just haven't seen the language take off to where I'd consider switching yet. However, I definately check out discussions on the language from time to time. I've also seen more hosting opportunities lately for Ruby. Just needs to be more resources for me to switch.
I agree with Ralph, more resources are needed. Ruby is spreading quickly... the book was extremely insightful and it deserves some more attention!
This whole thread made me smile :)
I enjoy Ruby, but there's nothing wrong with it being a subforum ;)
