SQL on Rails webcast featuring textmate

There's a great site for a new web framework called SQL on Rails.
http://www2.sqlonrails.org

They even have an 8 minute screencast where they develop a full internet search
engine. The magic and power of the system is thanks to textmate snippets. Just 
thought you all would enjoy spotting textmate in something this brilliant.

LOL....

Cool People...
Importing the_internet.sql

hilarious... very well done

only 78,000 lines of code or something... and to create a new page you
only have to have a couple pages of source... very cool. I need to
switch away from Ruby now... seems SQL on Rails is the superior
product.

I do hope in reading that page, you realized that SQL on Rails is
nothing but an April Fools joke, with hundreds of silly rails
followers falling for the trick. Try looking at the download src/ file
names, or some of the things like this:

New book: Operating System Development with SQL on Rails
Just about any operating system will do, but we recommend one with Minesweeper.
NCSA Httpd  is the obvious choice.
.... organized crime collusion, pornographic content distribution,
torrent tracking, or even social networking.

I don't believe you that anyone really fell for it.

In any case, it was most excellent.  Whoever made it had fun on the 
little details.  Among other things, I particularly like the environment 
variables:

setenv INTELLIGENCE -10
setenv USER root
setevn LIBRARY_DIRECTORY ~/Desktop
setenv RM_RF_DIRECTORY /
sitenv CHAIR

Also, the 73,908 line bare-bones boiler plate SQL file, and of course, 
"Luckily earlier today… I did a MySQL dump of the Internet down to my 
desktop."

Allan: have you considered switching to the Model-Model-Model pattern 
for TextMate development?
