Hype by blog.
Published 2005-01-23 22:11:18
Alot of people started using blogs as a slightly better media for technical information, but it's becomming evident that with subjects ruby on rails, and some of MS astroturfing with marketing material, that blog aggregators like Artima have been abused heavily with rather second rate blogging, about 3rd rate tools.
While ruby on rails is probably a good tool, it fails in a huge part from the flawed thinking that one provider can deliver a complete solution. It took me a long while to realize that attempting the complete toolkit that ror promises is often fruitless. It rarely delivers much beyhond the intial demostratable examples. What normally happens is that in designing for a single solution (A super fast web interface to databases), you often end up with libraries that are rather poor for generic usage.
The fact that PHP already has 3 or 4 projects that are based on PEAR, that deliver pretty much the same solution as ror. Indicates that the concept of small flexible libraries, maintained by seperate individuals, rather than one super mega project is always more valuable, although I guess you miss out on the hype more.
