Agreed. If only because of their pervasiveness, particularly in enterprise applications, .NET and J2EE aren't going anywhere. I remember reading a while back on /. about a similar post to this, and the question was raised if there were any enterprise apps written with Ruby on Rails.. most people couldn't think of any. Are there any now?

Think the JavaScript templates are bad? You obviously haven't heard of whytheluckystiff's Markaby, which 'lets' you layout all HTML in ruby code.

Best thing to do is educate yourself. Here are some good resources:<a class="user" href="http://www.rubyonrails.org">http://www.rubyonrails.org</a><a class="user" href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails">http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails</a><a class="user" href="http://www.rubyonrailshosting.info">http://www.rubyonrailshosting.info</a><a class="user" href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX">http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX</a>Having programmed with ASP, RoR, Php, J2EE, Rails is a nice framework but indeed has some hype surrounding it. Its all a matter of what floats your boat.
