it's a long story, to do with a church funding something, but i was the eventual designer of it despite being an intern, then went and built it in my own time one weekend. was fucking heavy and never used it, just donated my time to that client

i have a copy. it's not as good as it looks.

I think it is possible to have a ws server listening on the same port (and even path) as an http server, hence it shouldn't really matter.

And if you really care, you could make a http forwarding proxy with node to forward normal http requests through to your app if it's written in something else, but deal with websockets itself.

you don't hear about it because you don't know rich enough people, or because you're tuned out from it - like weathermen constantly being wrong. they aren't, you just remember it more when they are than when they aren't.

I had a great experience with two airlines recently, bmi and airberlin, but it was probably because i was prepared to pay a little more than my usual easyjet price.

Yeah, i think that it's probably more to do with the correlation of how much you pay to how much you will enjoy airlines though

looks like it was an awesome presentation

indeed. especially as people inside apple have already built web apps using RoR in the past. one that comes to mind is the application they use for enterprise managing lots of iphones (i can no longer find it, but i assume it's still around)

1.9.1 still has quite broken items, and 1.9.2 has even more broken stuff as it's very much still in development. This is why people haven't switched.

That said I'm starting to see people use 1.9.1 syntax in tutorials, tips and blog posts.
