Well, not yet anyway. Perhaps when those hosting prices go down I’d go and take a shot at building something useful. I did start reading a few books on Ruby and Rails. It’s an incredibly awesome and fun language. I’ve never been very excited when learning a new language. I drool when I see Ruby code. It’s easy to learn but I’ve already forgotten most about it since I don’t use it fulltime.
If it were just me, I’d have built PicLyf using Ruby to make it more exciting. But there’s the city talent pool we had to think of. Currently, it’s hard to find good PHP developers. I reckon it’ll be more hard to find those who know Ruby.
