Penny Arcade Goes Rails

I read over on Penny Arcade that they’ve converted their site to Rails. This is pretty big news for Rails advocates. Penny Arcade has over 4 million readers… And after browsing their new site, I find it pretty damn fast. There is a large speed improvement over their php implementation. So they definitely took advantage of Rail’s caching feature. Of course, the biggest difference will be transparent to their readers, but it should be a hell of a lot easier to maintain and add new features.
