Mark, I was wondering if you ever considered developing this software in Ruby on Rails. I imagine you'd be able to build an app like this in a month or so. And having built-in AJAX, ect, would have been really nice. Might also really help with speeing up development.
So just wondering if you ever did consider such a thing, and I also wanted to get input from different people's on the boards about how they felt about RoR.
Just speaking for myself here... I've watched the RonR videos and read some documentation on it and think it looks great as a framework but for some reason I just can't see myself using it. For a start it is of course Ruby based so it is a different style of language than what I am used to plus I'm just not a big fan of all encompassing frameworks.
Maybe I'm just the mouse that refused to change and couldn't find the cheese. :D
There is another rails thread over here, but it is a little off topic to what you guys are asking. Mark did mention in there some reason why he hasn't/ did not use it. I think.
