Talking a good game
Periodically I check the ruby on rails site to see if it’s still written in PHP. It is…http://rubyonrails.com/index.php
Most people go to http://rubyonrails.com/ and it looks fine, I type the index.php in there just to check that they still aren’t using rails. I believe this is called spitting on your own dog food.
Maybe they’re just retaining their old URLs, making sure nothing
breaks???
Hey, it’s possible!
Well, it does have an X-Powered-By header for PHP…
Another weird thing is if you add a / to the end of one of their URLs, you get the content without any styling:
http://rubyonrails.com/quotes –> http://rubyonrails.com/quotes/
[…] According to Nate, the Ruby on Rails site is (still) powered by PHP. […]
Ah, yes — spitting on your own dog food. :)
This is why we made a point to use Django in implementing djangoproject.com. The full source code is also available.

Heheh, ok, admittedly I made that up.
