Ruby on Rails for web design?

Post by rhoenix »

A few friends of mine are tinkering more with Ruby on Rails for web development projects. Up until now, I've tinkered a bit only with PHP and the varying html-related languages (Javascript, CSS), and I was thinking of giving Rails a try.

Has anyone had experience with this language, how well it performs, and how easy it is to program and create with?

I have had some limited experience with Ruby on Rails. As far as I can tell, it's very easy to program, create and manage servers and databases. Ruby itself is quite a nifty language as well. Rather than compiling, Ruby just runs with the code and it is very object-oriented. The ability to duck-type any variable is pretty cool too. :)

The lack of Unicode support is annoying.
