Ok, that's the sort of stuff I want/need to hear.
Let's have someone (you?) do a presentation on Ruby/Rails. While I'm an
admitted skeptic, I'm not close-minded.

Hey Teague!! I haven't heard from you in a long while. Glad to see you're still active!!
My problem with Perl, Python, and maybe Ruby/Rails is that you quickly loose the separation between the logic of the application and the presentation. Anytime you see HTML embedded in you logic a red flag should go off. I really think the data/content should be in XML w/ XSL-T, CSS, and JavaScript handling the rest.

PS I'm a Ruby/Rails skeptic...
I love using Ruby and RAILS, that being said, I laugh at some of the hype.
It does eliminate a lot of writing the same thing Over and Over and Over. And you can get a prototype webapp up in an extraordinarily short time, as long as you follow all the naming conventions, and your app fits into a certain model range (that being said, it's easy to move WAY beyond that quickly, once you figure out how.
