Re: What do you think about Ruby on Rails?

I only once saw somebody using it and demonstrating it.

- The fact that it relies heavily on conventions could be a real drawback if you want to get existing applications (with existing databases) on rails. But not an unsolvable problem, I think.

- The fact that unit tests are built in makes it the first _serious_ development framework I know. I'm glad to get rid of the feeling that I am the only one who knows what unit tests are.

- As a complete ruby novice, it was a bit hard to follow. I think the conventions will require much learning and it will take some time before you know where you can insert your own code. I think it _looks_ easy. It may suffer from an "ASP" like appearance: it can look like childplay, but it still requires a real programmer.

- My impression: a good package to know, even if you are not a ruby programmer. You can learn enough from the ideas behind it.

Best regards.
