Blech! ;) That's how you get code like poop.stub(:whatever).and_return(thing).with(blah). It's just crazy. @Matt My only real problem with RSpec (outside the magical implementation) is the fact that it yields self all over the place for the “English effect.” Blech! ;) That’s how you get code like poop.stub(:whatever).and_return(thing).with(blah).

However, even though this is not perfect, merb's desire to come to something closer to ruby is something that people interested in merb are looking at with interest. You mentioned RSpec, this is a different discussion all together but it would be interesting to hear different view points to help people choose what they think is more appropriate. Maybe rubylearning.com could interview people like yourself and David Chelminsky. I know I would love to read more about the topic. - Matt @jeremy hehe, you and I seem to agree on this one :)

Are you saying that deploying an application with passenger is not easy? We have been investigating other alternatives like a built-it reverse proxy and a dynamic pool of workers (swiftiply with merb's master and worker process). We are trying to do our best to find a powerful yet easy deployment solution. I personally think that using passenger is as easy as deploying a php or a python app, but I'm interested in hearing more from you as you don't seem to find it easy enough. Glassfish is another easy solution if you are using JRuby. Again, I appreciate your comment and feel free to email the mailing list if you have any suggestions, in the mean time, I will make sure the documentation on deploying merb apps with passenger is up to date. - Matt @softmind This is a very interesting comment.
