Rails does provide chaining as well as a uri_for(). I don't remember which framework I added uri_for to - I think it was C::A - mst probably figured that one out on his own. :-)

Yes - I did mean configured routes vs. discovered routes.

Yes, I do look at the debug output to figure things out. However, it's not always as simple as just looking at some config file. The ability to use both would be nice.

I prefer Ruby's clean OO over Perl's rather verbose version. However, as tye has said before, the lack of strictures makes Ruby a second-class language, no matter what else it offers. That its syntax is closer to Javascript's would normally make it a better candidate for RIAs than Perl, but the lack of strictures is just a deal-killer.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
