At one time I wrote that maybe Delphi should use curly braces for its begin--end clauses to be similar to the C-like programming language, and the opposite responses were overwhelming. Their claim was, what does syntaxes had to do with it? Guess what, those people were right. At that time, I was just concern about Delphi and being emotive about it. I may be right to some degree though. Anyway, Ruby On Rail is catching fire, and below is an example of class with its associated methods (copied from: http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html), and it doesn't look like a C-family language to me. It actually bore some resemblance to the "almighty" Delphi! ### begining of code ### class Expenses < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :expenses do |table| table.column :paid_on, :date table.column :payable_to, :text table.column :amount, :float, :default => 0.0 table.column :account_id, :integer end end def self.down drop_table :expenses end end ### End of code ### As a matter of fact, I would love Ruby to kill Java. Thus giving room for C# and Delphi to continue to grow. Back to top Jim Cooper Guest Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 3:14 pm    Post subject: Re: Is Ruby On Rails, Delphi's lost cousing?

Don't hold your breath I agree, it's not going to kill Java any time soon, but it has converted some well known Java guys and it is a viable cross platform alternative to Windows only web technology. -- Brian Moelk bmoelk (AT) NObrainendeavorSPAM (DOT) FORcomME http://www.brainendeavor.com Back to top SiegfriedN Guest Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 4:15 pm    Post subject: Re: Is Ruby On Rails, Delphi's lost cousing?

So how much Ruby have you coded? ;) Quote: Still sulking over the failed Apple promotional tour in here...? I didn't know that expressing an opinion that you disagreed with is called a "promotional tour". It's also worth noting that disagreement with you is to be regarded as a failure.
