In 2006 I created killerphp.com because I wanted to make it easy for web designers to learn PHP. I thought PHP was THE predominate web programming language and I felt every web designer should include PHP as one of their core coding skills:
- html
- css
- php
- javascript.
Then Ruby came along … for a short while.
What happened to Ruby and Ruby on Rails?
Once upon a time Ruby was the best thing since sliced bread … it was the language to replace all languages and everything else just sucked! Funny, that seems like ages ago.
Today though, the picture is different; Ruby’s shine has since lost its’ luster and the Rails train has practically fallen off the tracks – now there are other web frameworks in the Ruby world that have replaced Rails.
Addendum: Merb and Rails are merging … Rails hasn’t ‘gone off the tracks’. My bad.
So what the heck happened … what stopped the Ruby train ride?
