Thanks for the comment! btw I'm still in love with the design you made for this blog.

Way faster than asp.NET and more importantly, it didn't screw up my CSS and XHTML code. Since my priority was the look and feel of the website I was more than happy about the result. So a big hug to Ruby. As for the western market. The cultural aspect of the west made Flash a big plus for their website. South Korea have a wide pool of young gamer, and gamers likes gummy bear interface, fast moving, noisy etc. All that flash have to offer. Here in the dull eastern, we have a wide range of user to please. I think that in the future, both market will merge into one. And who knows, maybe Ruby will rock the house...

Ajax widgets to do mundane tasks such as user authentication and authorisation with drag&drop interfaces. We could group common widgets into modules or components. Someone should write a plugin to automatically extract these modules from existing apps. I mean, how hard can it be? I think Rails needs more widgets.
