Fun to read, and it has cartoon foxes in it! The thing I'm really excited about with RoR is that it natively supports ajax (yes, there's that other buzz word of the moment). The other cool thing is that because Ruby is so high level, it's making a lot of non-developers into devs. So now people who previously wouldn't touch code but who have really awesome ideas can now implement to their hearts' content. There's some debate about how Ruby's not a great language to start with and how it's too high level (hivelogic had a good post about it: http://hivelogic.com/archives/2005/02/27/regarding-ruby-and-ruby-on-rails/), and there's been lots of er arguing/flaming re: java vs. ruby... but Ruby's so hot right now, it's like nothing can hold it back.
