Joshua: wrong. Ruby on Rails has NOT been around for 10 years. Ruby has. But don't confuse Ruby with Ruby On Rails. Ruby On Rails is obviously written in Ruby, but it's a complete framework that includes everything you need to develop rails apps, including a webserver. Also it allows the creation of web apps very quickly and for the most part you don't even have to deal with the database end of things unless you have more specific needs. Go watch the 15 minute rails video to get an idea, you can't do this with PHP, plain and simple. Well you could do it, but it's not as good.

It's powered by Ruby on Rails because Ruby on Rails rocks. Plain and simple.

content still of high quality of course - but that design, old design was much more readable.
