... and I think that is the main advantage.

You know, I think that if an IDE for Java quite comparable to Visual Studio had been made, I believe a lot of us here would be talking and debating about Java technologies. And there'd be fewer forums (and no chit-chat forum because we wouldn't have a sense of humor.)

So it's still OOP, yo don't lose out on that; it's just that the technology is optimized (putting power before ease basically).

I don't know much about RoR yet, I just started getting into it recently.

I guess it's only fair to include this article (for anyone who might be searching for RoR):
