Subject: Re: TRAC - Trac, Project Leads, Python, and Mr. Noah Kantrow

Wow... I dont like python much as a language. I respect it though 
because it did away with the ugly line noise of perl. (But ruby did a 
lot better).

However, there is one huge reason why trac became so popular - there is 
a DEMAND for these applications.

The very same happened with Mantis. It didnt have much in the beginning, 
but it was (and is) constantly growing.

At one point it hardly matters how messy something is, as long as people 
drive it forward - take phpbb3 for example.

I'd wish ruby would jump in but this all takes a little bit of effort 
after effort, and there is no point at all in writing so much about a 
project YOU dislike. I couldnt even stop writing what I dislike ... like 
all the various perl scripts bundled in countless software apps - they 
should be ruby scripts instead. :)

But as long as people all agree that the www has become incredibly 
important, i am fine. Because the drive-on seems to steered in the right 
direction.
