Happy 3-year anniversary, Rails
Posted by David July 30, 2007 @ 05:46 PM
We’ve passed the 3-year mark for when Rails first saw the light of day as a public release. It’s been an amazing ride, don’t you think?
Ruby on Rails was created by David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner at 37signals,
then extended and improved by a core team of committers and hundreds of open-source contributors.
Rails is released under the MIT license. Ruby under the Ruby License.

Being a Railer for 8 months now, I’m really enjoying the experience.. yes, it’s an amazing ride David, Thanks!
Never though I’d have such joy developing web apps. Thanks to all Rails Core Team.
Congratulations Rails. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you rails. Congratulations david for making the best platform for web development
Rails has made me a happier code. Thanks!
Rails quite literally changed my life. I’d been planning to leave the web development industry for a while before stumbling onto Rails two years ago. I couldn’t be happier!
Congrats to the team!
Hooray!
Congratulations! Let’s hope the next three years will be as groundbreaking as the previous three.
Congrats with your baby’s birthday! ;)
A very Nice ride, and the best is yet to come.
Three years!!! Time flies as usual when something interesting and beautiful occupied our minds. It was like in an investigation novel, lots of clues, bunch of problems to solve, interesting characters with fascinating ideas. Models, controllers, sparkling views, regularly used helpers make the whole scene DRY as James Bond martini. Enchant heroes AJAX the Great come throughout prototype and make this even more mystique with a hand full of gems makes our path restful. Total customer developer nirvana.
Happy Birthday :-) Thank-you so much David, and the entire Rails community, for creating, and continuing to create, such an exciting framework.
Hip-hip Hooray!
Congratulations to all involved, and special thanks to David for all his work!
Rails changed my life for the better as a web developer. This awesome community formed around the best thing since Web Standards. In fact, Rails in many ways has standardize the domain of web app development! Love all those conventions (over configurations).
Congratulations to the Core Team and all the Railers World Wide.
I am older than three years! Ha!
Yes! Yes I do, David! It’s been a wonderful 3 years and counting.

Thank you! Best web framework.
Happy birthday! Thanks for making our daily work funnier!
happy birthday. Congratulations and thanks to David, 37 signals and everyone who has contributed to this great framework
I’m enjoying it, and I’ve only just got on board. :)
Congratulations! And thank to DHH and whole Rails team – and the community of course – for this wonderful framework…!
Happy birthday!
Awesome framework – been using it for 2.5 years now and am LOVING it. Thank you!
Ruby and Rails brought me back from the brink of quitting software development altogether.
Thank you, everyone.
sd
a milestone worth mentioning indeed.
Has been effective for me on multiple varied projects and as with most who use it, brought me some level of joy
Keep pushin on !
Wow!
Were’s the birthday present? :P
Herzlichen Glückwunsch.
You guys turned the web upside down. I really enjoy Rails a lot. Keep up the good work. You really got a community rollin’ in style.
3.times do puts ‘Hip hip hurray. ’ end
Felicidades!!!
Happy birthday Rails! you turned me into a web programmer.
I was at the same point in my career – and RoR was the deciding factor in my decision to quit software development. Programming fun again? Didn’t happen. Easy and fast to get big apps running? Nope. I may try programming, specifically web development, again someday, but only after a completely new paradigm for the browser appears and I don’t have to deal anymore with HTML, CSS, browser incompatabilities, etc. Web development SHOULD be SO much easier than it currently is…
Happy anniversary!
3 more years of Rails and I would probably look around for another web framework =)
Happy birthday! Rails rocks!
I wanted to echo the appreciation and say I owe a debt of gratitude to David, 37Signals and all who have contributed to Rails.
Right now coding in ASP.NET and all I can think about right now is getting back to my rails project…
thanks for the killer work!
生日快乐！Rails
Time flies. Congrats indeed. It’s been a fantastic few years – can’t thank you enough.
Looking forward to the many more to come!
Happy birthday Rails! You make me money :) <3 happiness and>
This wins, and Fuck You!
And still not one genuinely useful website built on it. Congratulations.
Happy birthday Rails! Next year you’ll be in Pre-K. Congratulations!
hmm…. would the previous 3 antagonistic (and childish) remarks be from jealous PHP or Java programmers? If Rails is so lousy why do you protest so loudly? (Perhaps they’ll have been deleted by the time anyone reads this comment.)
I come from a Lotus Notes & Domino background, and I’m FINALLY free of the bureaucratic corporate world where Notes (bless its little heart) is predominantly used. I’m working from home for the most amazing client, and using Rails every chance I get. I LOVE IT. Notes/Domino is not so bad (although it has some major warts, and might cause you to pull out most of your hair in frustration) but using Rails is invigoratingly refreshing.
As a part time hobby programmer I was having great difficulty with the existing language options. I was about to give it all up and de-stress my life when I discovered Rails. I can now write beautiful web applications in a few nights and everyone is happy. Thank you so much!
