if it wasn't for DHH, Ruby would be a hobby programming language at best. The community can say what it wants, but it and frankly, most of the web programmers in the world, owe DHH some thanks. If it weren't for him, Yehuda Katz and John Resig, 90% of the web would still be written with Perl, CGI and VBScript.

90% of the web is written in PHP, and Rails didn't change that.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
