Well done my friend! You deserve it. You built more than a framework, you built a movement (and an economy). In just one year, Basecamp, Backpack, Tada List, 43things, ODEO, Blinksale, Strongspace, S5 Presents, and many more have all jumped on board. It will be a blast to see who comes aboard over the next 12 months.

Respect! and well deserved - DHH looked at the same problems thousands of individuals & companies were looking at for about 10 years, but he was the only one to see a really elegant solution. Well done.

I haven’t really touched RoR, but congrats all the same. Best of luck onward.

Congrats, David! Seems RoR has set a new bar on how web development should be done in the future.

Definetely well deserved!! Ruby on Rails has changed the way we work and has made us 100x’s more productive. We love the framework and have been able to develop a few ROR apps of our own. We developed Listsomething.com and Ajaxed.com with the framework and are amazed by the speed in which we can get things done. Congratulations again David!
