This time around they focused on ruby and what can be done with it in 48 hours. Rumor has it that the next Rumble may be more "startup incubator" focused and not be language restricted. -Tom We did not organize the Rumble — we sponsored it.

There are a lot of cool projects there. Impressive that they were done in 48 hours! (The guy in the Pagestackr one has a cool accent.) Is there a particular reason it's restricted to Ruby on Rails? Is it just that you think it couldn't be done in Perl? :-) I just watched many of the screencasts (working on the rest). There are a lot of cool projects there.

Is there a particular reason it’s restricted to Ruby on Rails? Is it just that you think it couldn’t be done in Perl? :-)
