Why do so many people on this forum have kittens whenever someone points to a success story about Rails and Ruby? It's like the hamburger people can't stand it when someone enjoys a plain hotdog with ketchup and mustard. It's tiring. Get a life, and just enjoy your bland, overpriced, gourmet, too-big-to-fit-in-your-mouth, Instagrammed burgers.

heh, I know right? I see all those comments shitting on ruby and rails, and it's like, yeah, I get it dude. They hate rails, but luckily nobody is forcing them to use it. The more choices the better. Some people hate dynamic types, some people hate static types. There's room for both, imo. It's not like it's a secret there are faster or more efficient stacks.

I guess they can't help themselves and need to make their position known. Personally, I love ruby, and rails is pretty good too.
