Are you talking about Ruby-On-Rails, which is a framework, or about Ruby? Well, to point out my view, I have to admit that PHP is not really good written. In some functions the needle is the first argument, second the haystack and vise-versa in other functions. And talk about OOP with PHP, well, it is -working- but not as like as you know from Java. In Java I can create a type-hinted hash-map in one line, by the type-hint is an interface. Very nice and small code. :) Ruby might also be able to do this. In PHP I have to write a class which does this for me. Well, what I want to say is that you cannot compare PHP with wether RoR nor Java. RoR is a framework, PHP is not. Java is 99.99% pure OO, PHP is not. Hope that gives you an idea. :) And btw: Hello. I'm new to this list. ;-) Roland On Thursday, 13.
