Re: Joel Spolsky on languages for web programming
Vidar, Risk Management IS NOT equivalent to FEAR, in that you are right. However, as I said earlier, no SIGNIFICANT progress can be expected without some risk. Risk Management is about dealing with risk, not eliminating it. Ruby and Ruby on Rails are not the safest choice, but I believe they are one of the very best choices for web development. There is a slight risk in it, but not enough to stop any bold, courageous corporation, startup or even lone developer to create great software with it. Joel and people who share his views, equate Risk with FEAR. That is their main mistake. Ruby is ready now... not for everything, but is uniquely ready for web development, that is I believe a fact. As another poster mentioned, there is an evolution in the adoption of technology. Ruby is still with the early adopters, but that does not mean is not mature enough for critical applications. What will prove me right however is not my rationale here or in my previous post, but TIME, time will prove those who sticked to Ruby and Ruby on Rails did so wisely, because TRUTH is tested in time.... I believe Ruby is ready now, many people disagree, but ultimately time and people using Ruby for critical applications will be the deciding factor. I love this quote from the Linux Advocacy video Red Hat produced recently, it is incredibly accurate to this issue we are discussing, and I recommend everyone to watch it, I will quote it here: "Despite Ignorance Despite Ridicule Despite Opposition Despite it ALL TRUTH HAPPENS" Source: http://www.redhat.com/truthhappens/ Time will tell us indeed, but I am not waiting for the jury, I am learning Ruby and RoR now, eager to apply it to create cool, amazing web applications... isn't that the whole point? To push technology? To make it fun again? To innovate?
