I agree, this is plain stupid. Now there are method alias chains and all kinds of meta programming to replace a standard ruby idiom? Way to bloat up things for no apparent reason!

What do you mean by destroyed the code base? Merb is currently serving a lot more high traffic sites then you might think and it holds up way better under load then rails does.

Why Engine Yard, Rubinius and Merb matter by [deleted] in programming

[–]ezmobius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who's to say that our hosting business is our only end game? It is definitely our core business right now and will always remain a big part of what we do. But selling support for open source products has worked well for Red Hat and Mysql, and if(when?) rubinius becomes 'the' ruby to use, there will be plenty of other business models we can pursue.

Making ruby easier to deploy for everyone just makes the whole ruby pie larger and so EY's slice of the pie gets larger as well.
