An interesting indication of why your previous argument about
Eiffel's dead has some shortcomings: Ruby on Rails is very attractive as
long as your programs can be written using RoR approaches
that serve corresponding needs so well. Of course, the makers of
RoR never fail to point to the limits of their approach (to be
debated elsewhere.)
The Gobo framework and the DB classes aren't that different from
RoR after all. I'll concede that learning web framework concepts might
be really interesting if you prior work has mostly been CGI scripts.
