[Nitro] list of Nitro Powered sites?

[* William]

Hi all...

I've been busy on my researches, and have some time to connect back with the Og/Nitro gang.  Actually I'd like a nice mature, non-rails ruby bases web deployment system to generate interest in FOSS development in my local (geographical) area.

There is no reason to not do Rails, it is a career move for some people I think.  I tend to thin the Nitro way is 'better'.  I also think that mono-culture is a poor substitute for thinking.  To mis-use Tolkein, "There can NOT be only one framework to rule them all".  For me.

I would like some example URI-s for Nitro powered and Nitro derived web sites that you Know or Own?

Thanks for you help, in advance.

aloha,
        \_w_/

Hi William.

The Nitro world has gone quiet. George stopped actively developing it and the Og ORM was spun off into its own project.

Take a look at ramaze for a non-rails web stack with a very similar feel to nitro. It plays nice with about every view/template technology and ORM you can think of  - including the sucky ActiveRecord and the lovely Og - and you can be up and running as quick as you can type:

require 'ramaze'

class MainController < Ramaze::Controller
  def index
    "hello"
  end
end

Ramaze.start

With nary a database configuration in sight.

Cheers,
Dan

Indeed, I am not working on the public Ruby version of Nitro any more (although I am maintaining a heavily customized version used on http://www.me.gr)

However, I am working on a JavaScript version of Nitro: www.github.com/gmosx/nitro

It's at the very early stages (ie it is expected to change a lot) and the philosophy is quite different than the old Ruby version.

If you liked the old version you should indeed check out Ramaze.

regards,
George.

Thanks Dan / George.

I got into the new OgDen project but there is a problem with some new facets, I think.  I will definitely have a look at ramaze, my 'thing' of course is organisational ecology; I'm thinking that a healthy Ruby community needs 3 or 4 examples of a "web framework"-s. 

I am interested to know if there are Nitro powered web sites still.

As an aside, I recommend the March-2008

• The Power of Java and Ruby ( * * * * _ )
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfnP-8XbJao
  

In there, they have substituted ActiveRecord with scalable hibernate (and it is faster than Ruby 1.9)

Also for those not looking, NetBeans lets you configure a project to target -->  Ruby 1.9, Ruby 1.9, JRuby and Groovy from the same nice IDE.  I'm sorry to say I find Eclipse dysfunctional now (netbeans doesn't do Git yet).

I don't mention this much; this is a good time to comment.  I'm into knowledge management and sensemaking (some overlap with semantic computation).  The nice people on the freemind project have instanced groovy as the script language. 

That's just "news" for the gang.  Often as not, I'm last to know such things. :-)

aloha,
