Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the web-deployment-made-easy dept.

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.

      Being married to CmdrTaco (by Kathleen Fent).

      - You will get Fried Chicken on your birthday. If there's any left over from his KFS lunch with Cowboy Neal.

      -If he is an insensitive asshole to you, it is only because you are selfish. You should understand that his parents sucked and now you have to pay for this. How this is logical, I'm not really sure.

      -He will never kiss you, and barely fuck you, even if you beg him to for months. And when he does fuck you, he's probably half drunk and insists on you wearing a strap on and dressed up like a construction worker.

      -When guys come over to the apartment, he suddenly becomes "cool CmdrTaco", and talks shit about you. If you say anything, he just says "don't mind the skank, she's fucking crazy."

      - On your anniversary, he gets drunk, hangs out with Hemos, and comes home the next day smelling like shit and KY jelly.

    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.

  4. Mod_python has easier syntax by billybob2 · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's hard to get excited about any tool based on Ruby because it inherits so much confusing syntax from Perl. To many programmers, Perl code looks like gibberish, and that's part of the reason it's falling out of favor. I'm afraid the same will happen to Ruby, which is too bad since its strict adherence to object-oriented concepts is admirable.

    I much prefer Python and Mod_Python for web programming, since its syntax is cleaner closer to plain English.

    Listen... I don't take Joel's advice on sex (I'll stick to women, thanks). Why should I give a shit what he has to say about anything else?
