foreach(array('f', 'g', 'h') do $function) {
  $function();  // or call user func($function)
}

I’m not a Ruby master, but I think this takes quite a bit of doing and is not in any way simple. I think it goes like:

def func(list)
  for i in list
    yield i
  end

func(['f','g','h']) do |function| 
  puts function
end

To me that looks like a language that cares more about being correct than useful.

• comp.lang.c++

Too slow when handling large process.

A lot of problem may arise when handling multiple different database type.

Besides all this, I have not found any mature application on Rails, if you know one, let me know please. The more complex one is Basecamp and is very buggy, and small compared to many open source and commercial applications done in PHP.

There are a lot of CMS based on the php language like Joomla, Drupal,

Typo3. So the best approach in comparing web site creation should be

to compare how Rails can be better than thoses others CMS.

You cannot just compare a framework with a language !

I just did a Ruby tutorial, not Rails, and found it simple at

glance. I will learn a little Ruby and Rails then compare it with

others PHP frameworks or CMS. I think thats the best to see the

differences.
