Rails 2.0 is finally finished after about a year in the making. This is a fantastic release that’s absolutely stuffed with great new features, loads of fixes, and an incredible amount of polish. We’ve even taken a fair bit of cruft out to make the whole package more coherent and lean.
What a milestone for Ruby on Rails as well. I’ve personally been working on this framework for about four and a half years and we have contributors who’ve been around for almost as long as well. It’s really satisfying to see how far we’ve come in that period of time. That we’ve proven the initial hype worthy, that we’ve been able to stick with it and continue to push the envelope.
I didn't realize you worked on Rails, sde. I looked at Ruby a while ago, but was kinda confused as to how you could tell when one line ended and the next began, what with the lack of semi-colons.
i haven't built any production apps with it. i just use it to learn about it. i wouldn't decide to go rails over php on any project i can think of right now though.
