Re: has anyone made an all-Ruby website? how'd it go?

I've built a medium sized database related project using only mod_ruby 
as well.

I use a custom template class system for page generation. I've never had 
any trouble requiring classes. IIRC that problem was very limited in 
scope and had a work around.

I came to mod_ruby after working extensively with mod_perl, and there 
are a lot of nice features in mod_perl that I miss, however being able 
to work in Ruby makes up for them. Mostly it is that mod_perl allows 
much greater access to the Apache pipeline from inside code than 
mod_ruby does. At some point when I have the time I'll look into 
implementing some of these features in mod_ruby.

I don't believe I ever ran into any surprise problems, or anything I 
couldn't do with mod_ruby. There were plenty of things that I had to 
rethink how to do properly in Ruby as opposed to how one would do them 
in Perl, however that's a whole 'nother dragon.
