It seemed to have slipped all of our minds, but yesterday, the 25th of July marks the 2 year anniversary of Rails’ release.

Here’s David’s announcement email to the ruby-talk mailing list.

Cheers to you early adopters.

    I remember emailing everyone I knew when I first discovered rails… telling them about how awesome it was.

    Now a handful of slashdot mentions, recognition by IBM, Apple AND Google… ahh

    It’s just so great that the world has embraced the elegance of ruby thru rails.

    I’ve met Ruby on Rails the first time in november 2005, but I didn’t give it a try. Thought : what’s the hell ! Another framework ! In Ruby…. I tried my first app in february, I was “sur le cul” as we say in french. I’m happy of what I do now with Rails, and will never go back to PHP. Rails : Happy birthday ! Longue vie à Toi !
