Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released

Simon (S2) writes "Ruby on Rails 1.0 has been released. From the announcement: 'Rails 1.0 is mostly about making all the work we've been doing solid. So it's not packed with new features over 0.14.x, but has spit, polish, and long nights applied to iron out kinks and ensure that it works mostly right, most of the time, for most of the people.' " The Ruby on Rails website has also been given a new look.

Re:"mostly right"???

Can you provide links to some software that you have written, for us to stress test?

There is a very good chance that we could, to put it nicely, molest the fucking guts right out of your software.

Ruby on Rails is being used by many people, and it is maturing very rapidly. It's that sort of real-world use that results in well-written, stable, secure software. Not only that, but Ruby developers are on the leading edge of agile development methods. They're amongst the most experienced users of unit testing, for instance.

Other projects, such as PHP, could really learn a lesson in effective software design from the Ruby community.
