Remarkably level-headed.

Remarkably level-headed.

Would it be fair to say that Django and Nitro are closer in philosophy
(ie. they both generate the SQL for you) than Django and Rails (or Rails
and Nitro)?

BTW: Kudos to the gem-folk, here's a quote from the article:
"Installing both Rails and Django is fairly easy once you've got the
relevant interpreter installed. Ruby can make use of the excellent Gems
system, which is something Python (and to be fair most other languages
including Java) would do well to mimic."

Also recently spotted this praise:

I had no idea you could serve gems directly with gem_server. That's
stupendous. I mean it. That's really stupendous, everyone.

I haven't used Django, but based on that write up that sounds correct.

Oh, indeed. Gems makes life much easier.

I got the same feeling. But if you take the time to experiment with
nitro, you will find that under the hood, thing work differently. And
more features are coming shortly

Yea, I think we haven't done a good enough job of publicizing this
fact. You know, I assume, about gem_server serving rdoc, right? The
funny thing is that we added the rdoc feature as a nice-to-have, but
the real reason for gem_server was to actually serve gems. We did
this on day 2 of RubyConf 2003 and it's been there ever since.

Way down on my TODO list for a long time has been to create a
Rendezvous/DNSSD/Bonjour-enabled version of the gem_server, so you
could dynamically discover and search gem_servers on your local
network. That might be a fun hack before or during RubyConf to play
with when we're all together.

Maybe you can use Ruby's Rinda::Ring and don't need to implement another
protocol.

That's also true, though there are two existing implementations of DNS
Service Discovery for Ruby.
