Rails Debate Continues

Since I first noticed Ruby on Rails last year, I've been interested to follow it's development.

Even though I haven't spent much time playing with the framework, I've been interested to follow the commentary from it's founder, David Heinemeier Hansson. Sometimes, in my opinion, David goes a bit over the top in promoting Rails. Perhaps this is one reason why there has been such a negative response from some quarters of the J2EE community.

However, I was pleased to read David's recent response to criticism. I thought it was well argued and served to improve understanding rather than provoke a slanging match.

Anyway, I'll continue watching with interest.
