Restructured Ruby on Rails 3.0 Hits Beta

Posted by kdawson on from the insert-gems-and-trains-reference dept.

Curlsman informs us that the first beta of Ruby on Rails 3.0 has been released (release notes here). Rails founder David Heinemeier Hansson blogged that RoR 3.0 "feels lighter, more agile, and easier to understand." This release is the first the Merb team has participated in. Merb is a model-view-controller framework written in Ruby, and they joined the RoR development effort over a year ago. Reader Curlsman asks, "So, is version 3 of RoR going to be a big deal, more of the same (good or bad), or just churning technology?"

    If you ever want to attract lots of blog comments, there are 2 subjects to cover:-

    1. Apple.
    2. Ruby on Rails.

    Seriously, what put me off Rails was the utter zealotry of some of the people involved in it. Django is full of more sane folks.
