imho ruby is simpler than php.

• bennylope 14y ago
  Easier on eyes, more powerful? Surely. But can you just drop .erb files into a directory and turn on mod_ruby? That's the allure of PHP for so many.

    No, but you can just run `rails new` and `git push heroku`, which is about as easy as using shared hosting.

      Shared hosting is all over the world, most of them provide PHP+20GB for 1/10 the cost of heroku+5MB.
      • pbiggar 14y ago
        Sure, but we aren't comparising pricing - we're looking at how easy it is to get started. You can go pretty far with Heroku free plans.

  Accessible != Simple

    Well, php is more accessible than ruby. I don't care about the language war, i use whatever gets the things done

  Says the guy that only knows ruby.
  • RageKit 14y ago
    Nope, i've done more php than ruby in my life, ad hominem is irrelevant you know ?
