This page has been Digged... http://railsenvy.com/2007/5/16/hi-i-m-ruby-on-rails-part-3 Is rails really better than PHP? I'm still learning ROR and hopefully can catch it up faster.. Maybe ROR will be the next web programming of choice?
This has been debated a lot, most recently in this thread. They each of their perks, though in my opinion PHP is still ahead of RoR. I find it unlikely RoR will replace PHP as the front runner in web programming, though it has its niche.
