DHH's Two Word Message To Everyone
To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player .
David Heinemeier Hansson (creator of Ruby on Rails) actually surprised us all at the Canada on Rails conference it seems; he took the insanity about Rails to the next level giving a talk about having pride in being arrogant, not liking SOAP, yet using Flash in order to push data to the client.
This is his response to people playing down Rails and wanting it to go in different directions.

Yeah I like how Jooto's talk was in stark
contrast.

Rails does not uses Adobe Flash do put data
to the client, it merely uses a facility it
calls a "flash" to store to data
temporary in a session.

Sorry f.svehla, but he actually did mean
Flash at the time, though things changed as
it was implemented.

@blandname - Please explain further, the idea
that Rails' flash would be implemented with
Adobe Flash is hilariously nonsensical. Are
you just pulling that out of your ass or are
you actually talking about something else
(eg. using Flash instead of AJAX)?

Yeah, hilarious indeed. He was saying he
would put data in a flash container... pretty
sure he even said clip. Similar to what
f.svehla said, but really in a Flash object.
of course he was just thinking aloud, and
nothing came of it...
