Wish I did. It seems sort of galling to me that every freaking Rails demo out there is ‘build a simple blog engine’ but no one has taken it to the the end of the road. ERB and RJS beat the everliving hell out of PHP, the RJS + Scriptaculous screen magic beats the hell out of PHP / Pear, etc.

I think that the argument for PHP , and thus for wordpress, is that PHP ( esp. with mod_php) is fast. Rails, by way of comparison is slow and memory hoggish ( gotten better with the Mongrel or Lighttpd daemons).

I think that slow factor’s gotta be dealt with before you see a blog engine running on Rails. It’s really only people like you and i who host or who have dedicated hosting who can say “why not run rails?”

In other news I feel the need to get my site running on ruby and actually control the underlying implementation. I was trying to get that tag cloud stuff working and I've found myself lost in a sea of wp plugins, copy pasted douchebaggery and php. Do you know of a ruby frontend for the wp schema?</p> I’ve been shaving a lot of yaks at work lately.
