Jilles’ weblog

Terry Chay over at “The Woodwork” has a length but nicely written blog post about a PHP vs Ruby on Rails discussion. If you’re interested in that kind of stuff, read the article: it has some juicy humor sprinkled into it as well; it’s a bit flame bait too…

Favourite quote (quoting another quote):

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
—Mahatma Ghandi

OSCON 2005:

“Unless you’re Ruby.”
—Danny O’Brien, “On Evil”

And:

I can’t speak for Alex, but what I’m saying is look at the top 100 websites on the internet: about 40% of them are written in PHP and 0% of them are written in Rails. (Yes, I can (and am) using this statistic to grind you Ruby fuckers into the dust.)
