It’s a pitty that I couldn’t be at the RailsConf Europe in Berlin. But the holidays weren’t that bad, either.
So as I discovered the first version of Davids keynote online today I couldn’t resist and had to watch this even if there actually was no time for and now I’m even writing this post…
But there’s one thing I saw in the video which I think it’s worth to be mentioned: What was “freaking awesome” a year ago is now “neat”. Seems something like Rails is leaving puperty.
Sure, I’m not the first who notices that, even David himself speaks about it at the beginning of his talk. But as I followed his talk I got more and more convinced, that he’s not only saying that Rails is now not a rebel any more, he is “living” that.
Rails has very fast gone a long way from rebellion to maturity and now really seems to be there.
It’s definitely a good thing and I hope with the Rails 2.0 release which seems to be more finetuning than turning anything upside down this maturity also gets spread to the decision makers who could not be convinced today.
I think Rails is still on a good way and this without airs and graces.
Let’s look forward to more Rails magic in the near and further future.
