Ruby is not anywhere near the same ballpark in terms of the widespread (ir)rational disregard of running anything PHP... especially on our dear-to-heart hand-crafted linux systems... in terms of both security, maintainability, and also the general perception of poor code quality of these OSS projects. While Ruby might not be well respected among the experienced and snobbish elite programmer class, it hardly instills…

Very nice. Alas, I wrote my own ghetto version of this in, gosh, 2005 and have slowly improved and changed it over the following decade into something rather bespoke and custom to my needs and thus will never get non-trivial contributions from others.

saw this and immediately upvoted b/c i really want something a lot like this. went to github and realized i won't use it b/c it's implemented in PHP, i probably don't want exactly what this is, and i don't want to edit/debug PHP (not on my own time, anyway). is that myopic? anyway, that was my honest, off-the-cuff response to the post.

Do you refuse to use any website written in PHP? How do you manage to have a normal internet life in the year 2015?
