Rails is not written in Ruby

As a former Rails dev, I've always enjoyed Piotr Solnica's writing. He does a great job of explaining what's wrong with the framework, in particular the flaws that aren't immediately obvious when you're starting out.

But these days the main thing I think of when I hear his name is that his blog used to be on a different domain, and he apparently let the old registration expire because someone else has bought it and now it points to a porn site. And tragically, there are still many other sites online which still link to Solnica's outdated, now-pornographic URLs.

And that's how I ended up accidentally sharing a porn link in a professional setting.

Somehow this story seems to relate to the author's musings on conflicting monkey-patched libraries. It's all rather beautifully messy.

welp :( I'm very sorry about this. I didn't manage to pay for my old domain because I was recovering after an accident (true story, not making any silly excuses). I was aware that it's about to expire but wasn't in a good physical and mental shape and I just forgot to do it. People keep reporting it to me and we're updating URLs every time somebody finds an old link somewhere. I should probably just search through GitHub and send some PRs...
