I also just realized that we might need a new acronym for Ruby. LAMR doesn't sound good

I've heard 'CRAM' - Capistrano, Rails, Apache and Mongrel.

Maybe CRAMM to get MySQL in there... dunno how you work Linux into it :)

Even worse than the Erlang stack.

Lamer, one could say.

So basically Digg does what everyone else does?

I've always wondered if Digg was written using Python or another language instead of PHP, if they could squeeze better performance out of it.
