Is there a certain class of problems that are frameworkless? I&#8217;ve been thinking lately that generalized frameworks could be a farce.

		<description><![CDATA[ActiveRecord is one of the hidden treasures of the Rails framework from which Rails derives so much of its productivity. It features beautiful uses of the Ruby language, especially Ruby&#8217;s dynamic programming features. ActiveRecord also makes it easy to be inefficient though. Efficient data access is not something that happens magically, and if ActiveRecord is <a href='http://www.benallfree.com/2008/09/12/beyond-rubys-activerecord/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[erlang is a programming language that is supposed to be very scalable. It encourages a form of design that is naturally scalable and as such requires some degree of adjustment for many programmers. The whole idea doesn&#8217;t sit well with me. For the technical among you, you probably already know that erlang utilizes a &#8220;shared <a href='http://www.benallfree.com/2008/06/10/rethinking-erlang/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Functional programming languages have a templating feature, called a macro, that allows you to write code that writes code. Writing code that writes code is an interesting idea, and is one of the cornerstones of Ruby on Rails. Rails promises to write code that works as long as you promise to use database and file <a href='http://www.benallfree.com/2008/05/20/functional-programming-languages/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, this looks pretty interesting. Google has released a scalable &#8220;app engine&#8221; where you upload your web site source code and it runs on their infrastructure. They provide a basic data access solution also. Right now the engine runs Python web apps only (not that popular, but perhaps growing).

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it looks like Akelos (http://www.akelos.org/) is taking the lead in the &#8220;Rails for PHP&#8221; race. It seems to have a better MVC architecture than cakePHP, especially where ActiveRecord is concerned. MVC frameworks are an important design concept for modern Web 2.0 applications.

		<description><![CDATA[C# 3.0 has a few interesting language features that Ruby has been providing for a while now. Most notable to me are lambdas and type inference. Lambdas have been covered already, but type inference is something new. It feels a bit like JavaScript because you just have to declare that a symbol is a variable. <a href='http://www.benallfree.com/2008/01/30/c-30/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
