I’ve started coding Ruby on Rails today. This would be my first programming experience in RoR (and in Ruby at all). I have several webapps that I’ve been planning to code in Django, but I’ll give RoR a try to see other way of developing web applications (that might be implemented later in FOW).
Currently what I see is lots of “magic”. You just create an empty method, accompanying html page - and you’re done. I wonder if such simplicity would be useful for compilable application, but who knows?

By the way, I’ve been prototyping “application bundles” yesterday. That’s a concept of having one web application completely isolated in dynamically pluggable (and removable) bundle. That might be useful for bugfixing, extending functionality or dropping it in case of high loads.
