Twitter Reportedly May Abandon Ruby On Rails
Raster Burn writes "According to TechCrunch, Twitter has plans to abandon Ruby on Rails after two years of scalability issues. Candidates to replace Rails are said to be PHP, Java, and Ruby without the Rails framework." The post links a brief comment (at 139 characters, probably a tweet) from Twitter founder Ev Williams saying it ain't so. The comments following the post embody the controversy over whether or not RoR sucks.
Little offtopic, but your sig:
> Without the Death Penalty there can be no justice.
Consider that there are many who oppose the death penalty because they also believe in the converse (or more technically, that the proposition stated in the affirmative is biconditional)
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
He should journal his thoughts on the matter. A statement like that without attribution or explanation is the mark of an unenlightened fool (and I am an unenlightened fool for saying so).
There are IMO 2 things wrong with the death penalty. First, it is final. "Oops, my bad, we just found out that the cops planted that evidence. Too bad you're dead." One of the founding fathers iirc (and I may not rc) is that it is better to let ten guilty men go free than to jail one innocent man.
Secondly, all of us are on death row, every one of the six billion inhabitants of this small muddy rock. The difference between us and murderers in the US is that our deaths mostly will be horrible, terrible, agonizing deaths. Cancer, heart disease, accident, fire, drowning, etc. while murderers are "put to sleep" painlessly and humanely as if they were a beloved pet dog. THAT is NOT justice. Let them rot in prison the rest of their lives and die horribly like I surely will when my time comes.
