ROTFLMAO! A few years ago, a friend who's a professor (was that math, or
CS; think it was the latter) up in Minnesota was real hot on ruby, and
commented on the growning number of books on it in the school bookstore.
A year or two ago, I'd seen an article or two about it not scaling, and
sent it to him, which he thanked me for, and hadn't known about. This
isn't a heavily used website, AFAIK, even if it is from the US gov.
Certainly, they were building it in ruby before I started; dunno as I'd
have had any influence on the guy who was good, but enTHUsed about ruby...
and rails. And passenger.
