Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Rails was [ Re: PHP programmer opening (phpWalter) ]

Smarty used as a tag library, yeah, over-engineered.

Smarty used as a pull-based architecture, I can see being nice.  One of these 
days I should try using it that way to see if I'm right. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
