The writing was on the wall. The core team needed a kick in the pants or they were going to need to sign up for the Merb Conference next year instead of the Rails Conf. Seems like this was a kick in the pants they needed. Good for Yehuda and Matt, I hope they do not become like what <span class="caps">DHH</span> is today. I am pretty shocked that the Rails team did this. I took them for arrogant a-holes who could not see genius (ahem, Yehunda) if it built another <span class="caps">ORM</span> for a rails-like app and stole half their base ;)</p> The impression I got from this year’s Rails Conf in
