Language wars
Joel Spolsky writes about the language wars. I’m sure his comments about Ruby on Rails (about halfway down the column) will earn him some flames.
Update: DHH responds here and here. Winning quote:
I swear I couldn’t make this stuff up even if I tried. Joel, you’re my new hero of irony. And as soon as you start selling those t-shirts with “Serious Business Stuff”, I got green ready to flow. Short of that, I’d take a red teddy bear with the embroidering “Someone is Going to Get Fired”.
Heh!

His comments have indeed provoked some flames:
