“The Ruby web development community got a big surprise Tuesday when the programmers behind the Rails and Merb projects announced plans to join forces. Merb will be folded into Rails 3, the next major version of the open source web framework. This unexpected union will put an end to the rivalry between the two projects.” If that doesn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside during Christmas, I don’t know what will.
Looking forward to it
Seems that DataMapper kicker features will be a nice addition to AR. More named_scope goodness!
