-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I want to know if for ruby like over language (php for example), if developper on ruby are a lot (more specially french developpers) In fact, it’s for a new project, I need to know some thinks : - - How many good developpers exists on rails ? (ruby so) - - Robustest of ruby core on a concequent project ? (lot’s of query per sec, lot’s of code) - - Stability of ruby ? - - Database behavior ? - - Add ons (like perl cpan) … I want to start a new project, and I want to start a new project in a language robust, with many and easy to find developper on it. If project take a good size, I don’t want to have poor performance or core crash without any solution. Bref, any good developper, please tell me what you think on ruby ? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) - WinPT 1.2.0 iD8DBQFFlA84Eg3iyspSWPARAl5bAJ95jL9yFir8hGIebfN2OMYQNPVBnACffRJP gKMfnK/pQeWxEMqbxDffYtA= =cWao -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ouah ! Performance seems to be great !!! Ruby support charge, but what are the size of your application ? Certainly module aren’t to big, but generally it’s not necessary to do one proc with a big size You app never crashed ? it’s rocking stable ? So I don’t know if find ruby developper is easy … it’s seems to be a new language … actually I’m using perl with a big app, and I love this language, easy, fast, stable, performant, but find good developper it’s really hard ruby seems to be a lot of more hard for finding developper … so I will see my superior prefer php language for that point, but I prefer ruby for beautiful language … some article point the lake of developper on core, all people love it, use it, but no body help core developper … that’s not really good, doesn’t ruby could died in this way ? well -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) - WinPT 1.0.1 iD8DBQFFlOgUEg3iyspSWPARAkc7AJ9wz1vLXOWEcR9vnVv3th0ehLjWmACeL6T7 ulBHIpaFGj8KTTZjiz+XH7k= =8XOh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

If you search the archives of the list, you will find many discussions on this topic. In brief, though, there are many commercially successful Rails based sites in existence (look at Basecamp as well as any of 37signals other products, 43things, etc…). There are many other Rails examples, and many non-rails examples, as well. I’ve been using Ruby for custom software and web sites for businesses for over four and a half years, now. I have benchmarked one of my newest sites as capable of delivering over 10 million dynamic page requests in a day, using a single backend process on a very modest server, with Ruby. You will find many people on this mailing list who are very happy with their choice to use Ruby for their projects. Now, that said, despite Ruby’s growth, finding programmers conversant in Ruby is not nearly so easy as it is with some other languages, but that is changing. Kirk H. ---

I have around 65 separate sites/applications running at the moment. Some of which have been running on the same process since 2005. My expectation is for rock solid reliability, and I haven’t had a problem with Ruby since the 1.6.8 version. > So I don’t know if find ruby developper is easy … it’s seems to be a new > language … It’s not a new language. It’s just newly popular outside of Japan. Finding developers is certainly going to be harder than finding PHP or Java developers, though, yes. > some article point the lake of developper on core, all people love it, use > it, but no body help core developper … that’s not really good, > > doesn’t ruby could died in this way ? There have been discussions around this topic, which you can find in the archives. The nutshell of it, though, is that there are currently a few ongoing alternative Ruby implementation projects, and the official Ruby implementation is moving along, too. Join the ruby-core mailing list or review its archives to see discussions regarding Ruby development. Kirk H. ---
