hey found one! ;)

BTW i think you're right. Good documentation is really important. But
I really think documentation is getting better.

well, I think there are some, just  too little. 
I think many people wrote larger ruby apps, maybe not gigantic, but
large. 
It seem there is even a company that has a pair of anterprise-level
product written in ruby. (look at the RealWorldRuby page in the
section dedicated to Web applications)

I know that this happens. I wonder why. I can't believe php is much
'eneterprise-friendly' that ruby. And I don't think ruby offers more
rope to hang you than SmallTalk :)

Wonderful how you met my expcetations :) 
It seem there are lot of people that thinks like you. 
But you can even do this in SmallTalk, IIRC, and ST has been around
for many years with really big apps, what's wrong with ruby ?

thanks for your answer
