Seriously, the more time I spend using Ruby, the harder it is to use other languages.

I just spent half an hour decrypting OSCommerce PHP code, in order to customize e-mails sent after a successful transaction.

Can you say spaghetti code!?

No offense to the OSCommerce developers, early PHP encouraged this type of development.

While AJAX + XHTML = Web 2.0, add Ruby and more specifically Rails, and you have at least Web 2.5. ;-)

brings one phrase to mind.
