Comments on: The Case for Ruby on Rails http://www.linux-mag.com/id/4063/ Open Source, Open Standards Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:43:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Bryan Richard http://www.linux-mag.com/id/4063/#comment-305 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 00:10:13 +0000 http://www.linux-mag.com/id/4063/#comment-305 Yeah, I thought it was a good overview of the business drivers for using RoR over something else or "going it alone" without a framework. I'm going to give "privacy registrations suck" the benefit of this doubt on this one and imagine that he/she was just channeling the frustrations of any Rails developer that get tripped up from time-to-time trying to build a truly great web app on a framework that's a bit under-documented and short on real-world OSS examples. It's something I can relate to; I took a break from reading the Rails source to toss off this comment.

besides, the article reviews solid business reasons for implementing RoR. i’m pretty sure it wasn’t presented as a review of the language or framework. to that end it’s precisely the sort of information opensource needs in the marketplace to push beyond “just LAMP”.
