Because the models know how to write Rails really really well. Better starting point means disproportionally better results. And readability is good for humans AND agents. I’m very confident about that!
But yes, long term (4-6 years out IMO) who knows what will happen!?
Daniel Berger (@djberg96): If we’re not looking at the code any more, what’s the argument for sticking with Rails? Library support? Honestly I don’t see much of a future for Ruby or Python (or any interpreted language). I think everyone’s going to start throwing Roundhouse at old Rails projects anyway, and
