Penny Arcade one of the most, if not the most, popular webcomics in existence have switched over to Rails. As gabe says on their site: "Penny Arcade right now represents the largest implementation of rails" on the intertron. I went and looked at a website about rails and then I got a headache. From what I gathered it''s either some kind of cutting edge programming language, or a way to liquefy a man''s brain inside his skull. I''m told that it means the site looks better and loads faster regardless of whatever hippy web browser you decide to use. " That''s pretty neat.
