Hi,
I've been talking with different people (especially during this Startup School, and especially with people which are doing their own startups) about how they are doing Web development "agile-way", and most of them were mentioning Ruby on Rails. Almost everybody, frankly speaking. Once or twice I heard PHP, but that's it. Couple of people mentioned Java with Spring. I personally really enjoy Java with Spring. No any freaking "hard-heavy-mutants", just plain JDBC and Spring. That is Agile. But why Ruby that much? My experience with it is weak, but I see it to be much interesting than PHP. But Java with Spring is a neat tool, really nice and easy at the same time. Flexible also, I should say. So why Ruby? Because it's the only alternative which is not "big" like C/C++/Java? Any thoughts?
