That site was a lot better before they have put up the adsense ads. Now it kind of ruins the whole experience.

Its looking great.

^^ I have adblock so my experience is still unparalleled. Now to write some php bindings for it.

Maybe I'm just too young, but I don't get the joke (other than that writing a web framework in COBOL is somewhat funny). Anyone care to explain?

It's a parody of Ruby on Rails and the Ruby on Rails website: http://rubyonrails.org/

Is the date overflow thing some kind of y2k reference?

I'm waiting for the alpha release of APL on carts.

That web site has been around since java was the new kool aid

That would mean the title is not poking fun at RoR.
