Mostly for the newbies who stumbles into this NG, wondering what Ruby is
all about...
Well, Ruby is the digital equivalent of a big smile!
The more I learn about Ruby (modules import, the ease of extending it in
C/C++, closures, tight but readable syntax, everything works like one
expects, etc etc etc), the bigger the smile on my face when coding...
Someone (I think at the ActiveGrid site: http://www.activegrid.com )
mentioned LAMP as the greatest thing open source had to offer!
I beg to differ!
Linux (ok, no problems there), the L of LAMP
Apache (ditto), the A of LAMP
MySql, the M of LAMP: I feel I just stepped into some dog poop; why on
earth use this database, and paying for it, when you have PostgreSQL and
Firebird http://firebird.sourceforge.net?
Perl/Python/Php, the P of LAMP: WHAT THE F**CK..... I have used Python
in the past (before I got to know Ruby), and it's not bad, but Perl/Php???
Let's get rid of this LAMP thing, and instead start using LARF
(Linux/Apache/Ruby/Firebird)... now there's a killer combination!
