Private: Ruby on Rails maturity

As RoR grows a little fur it is becoming easier to compare with other frameworks. (Joel Spolsky describes fur as the bug fixes, program requests, etc. that grow over time)

Ruby is a cross platform language. But Rails has many of the dependencies that still tie it to the developers platform to one degree or another. Not too bad considering how far RoR has come so fast. But it does raise some concerns for deploying an application in production.

I’ll keep it in the sandbox for now. And given my workload it will be for the best to bail out of the mailing list for a few months at least. I’m not contributing anything and the platform will likely change a lot in the mean time.
