Rails and Merb Ruby Web Frameworks Merge

Posted by kdawson on from the flattened-red-gem dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Merb and Rails Core Teams today announced a major merger; the two projects will become one, and be released some time in Q2 of 2009 as Rails 3. This is great news for lots of folks who worried about the potential community fracture, as well as great news for all the developers who will now have an all-around better option for programming Ruby. Read more about the details in Yehuda's blog post, or at the Ruby on Rails blog."

  1. Good lord, what is with the taggers? by ShadowRangerRIT · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At time of posting we have:

    • rubyonrailssucks
    • rubysucks
    • rubysucksdonkeyballs
    • fuckruby
    • rubyblows

    ...

    Either the taggers got up on the wrong side of bed today, or my general impression of Ruby is horribly wrong.
