Subject: Re: [ANN] KirbyBase 2.3 beta 1

Greetings! I want to declare myself a complete ruby-nuby, and this is my  
first post here. Made the big adopt-Ruby-decision last night, after my  
Plone site broke yet again, and I simply lost patience with its size and  
complexity. A long night ensued.

I studied "Rails" very carefully, and pronounced it more than good enough  
for my purposes, then looked carefully at Ruby and fell in love. I was  
actually laughing with joy at one point. Why hasn't someone done this  
before - this kind of simplicity and sheer beauty? I never DID figure out  
that Python "self" nonsense, and now I don't have to. Thank you * 3.

So....re: Kirbybase - this looks a bit like Python's MetaKit package, and  
very much like David Black's dbdbd - http://knossos.shu.edu/dblack/dbdbd/

I can't believe there isn't some kind of genetic relationship.

You'll hear from me again. I'll need you help!

Tom C.
