I was going to do something like this for the Rails Rumble but life intervened and I never ended up doing it. Been contracted out to a company for around 7 months now, and I might get cracking on it late January. Anyone want to help? On Jan 3, 2008 9:51 AM, gemblon (t.b.)

It could be written in C, Ruby, whatever. But what’s the point if it’s already done and working fine? Cheers, Sazima On Jan 2, 9:21 pm, “gemblon (t.b.)” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

It’s not rewriting for the sake of a rewrite, because you’re going to be able to not include php in InstantRails, therefore you’re not using PHP as a crutch (which doesn’t look good to newcomers) On Jan 4, 2008 4:15 AM, Rob B.

Exactly, it works and rewriting it for the sake of a rewrite is not very productive. phpMyAdmin works great for MySQL databases and if there was something in Ruby, sure we could put it in. -Rob B. ---

Linux was initially developed on system that didn’t run Linux. We all have to stand on the shoulders of giants sometimes. – Greg D. [http://destiney.com/](http://destiney.com/)
