C# will never have the same "feel" of Ruby, no matter how the language changes. Nor should it- there are some great advantages to C# over Ruby- and there's nothing in RoR that in some way can't be reproduced in .MVC. It's more important to program to a language's strengths and a framework's features than it is to plug a square peg in a round hole. Totally agree!

I had a pretty decent .Net background and I am also developing RoR apps from the early days of RoR, back in 2006. What I retrospect now is, it has helped me a lot in terms of better coding and design thinking. Also. I believe the guys at Microsoft Asp.net mvc team realized this very thing and they are on the way to mimic RoR. Its not easy given the core difference between the two languages C# and Ruby. Thats also a path Microsoft is taking as they more and more lean towards dynamic features in C#. Still, I believe like many other programming languages in the past, C#/Java will eventually fall off the race with newer ones like Ruby. Its simply so difficult to adapt a language of the past to the needs of the present and still conform to the past! I really liked your post.

I am somewhat in the same boat, but haven’t done any actual project in either technology. I have been doing .NET for quite a few years now and sometime ago started playing with asp.net MVC, but was caught up in professional obligations. Recently I got to know about RoR and wanted to do a personal little project, so thought of using Rails rather than .MVC. I have only just scratched the surface, but have found RoR to be much better than asp.net and .MVC for that matter. My observation is that asp.net has become somewhat of spaghetti. At first they had the event driven model for controls, then came patched Ajax, with jQuery mixed in, and now its MVC copied from frameworks like rails. They are trying to tie in too many things with changes. It could just be the fact that I have picked up Ruby on Rails at a time when it seems more mature (or maybe it just is), and seems like that is the right way to go for web development. So here is the question, what if I wanted to follow one technology not both? If such a question was put to you what would be your answer? Nice article Michael.
