Martin DeMello:

One of the most interesting facets of a desktop GUI system is how easy it makes it to go off the beaten track, particularly how well you can add “first class” components to the system. (Using ‘first class’ here to mean ‘on an equal footing with the widgets supplied by the toolkit’). Also, as a ruby programmer, I’d naturally rather not drop down into C (or Java) to do this.

set :repository, "[email protected]:defunkt/github.git"
set :branch,     "origin/master"
set :migrate_target, :current # this tells capistrano where to run the migration. otherwise it would try to use the latest release directory (/path/to/app/releases/2012XXXXXXXXX)
set :use_sudo, false
set :ssh_options, {:forward_agent => true} # so you can checkout the git repo without giving the server access to the repo
set :rails_env, 'production'

# These are here to override the defaults by cap

A Costly Parade

by why the lucky stiff

Adam Wiggins: First, Rubyists love elegance.

Daniel Lyons:Every programmer worth a damn thinks they love elegance.

Rubyists love life. Boy, I tell you. They love humans. They love cars!! They looooooove dishes of real, actual food. You don’t even know. Airplanes in mid-air, refueling? They love that!
