What I remember about .asp development (answering philg)

Philip, I don’t know about what you remember about .asp programming, but I will tell you what I recall some years back:

• IIS memory leaks when coding ASP pages because it was a threaded server.
• Huge MS SQL server code in the database because developers came from C/S backgrounds.
• Low level dll development interfacing with .asp pages through COM because .asp was not fast enough.
• Registering manually the COM/VB code each time we had to deploy a new release.
• Sacking MS consutants trying to sell you DNA.

I have no idea about Ruby on Rails, but you can botch a MS stack pretty easily.

Also, why do you want to make the Ruby on Rails comunity angry? I have no doubt they’re rabid fanboys, but I know who you are, so don’t be child and stop nagging the children.
