       | I love the passion and fun they were having while talking about
       | the company, business, marketplace incentives, Ruby on Rails and
       | mechanical keyboards! It was fun watching them have fun.

       | future of Ruby Rails. Shopify is many order of magnitude larger
       | than 37Signals and pose many unique challenges. Hopefully this
       | means more stuff gets extracted out into Rails.

         | Shopify.

       | Rails, at what point will Shopify just merge with the Ruby Team?

         | Probably never. DHH wants to keep Rails small enough that a 1
         | person founder can use it and be productive with it. Shopify is
         | already massive and some of their projects are taking them in a
         | different direction than DHH wants for Rails. For example,
         | Liquid templates (which are intentionally less powerful than
         | ERB since they're designed to be used by Shopify store owners)
         | and Sorbet (DHH hates types).
