This is the most asinine thing I've ever read on here. The first thing any smart person can figure out is that RoR doesn't make 37signals what they are. They have always said that themselves. Fast agile development, and all the other things they talk about in their Getting Real book make them what they are, but certainly not which language/framework. This is a lot like debating what care you're going to buy based on what the manufacturer of the car that won NASCAR last weekend was.

Really? The most asinine thing ever? I don't agree with that, but you do have a point. Still, it is interesting that 37Singnals is using PHP, not shocking, not mind-blowing, but interesting. Just like it would be interesting if Microsoft were using Java for MSN.

They're just using PHP for the front page of the site, not the whole app.

Sheesh.
