[Rails] DHH Interviewed by MySQL

[softwareengineer 99]

I didn't see anyone post a link to David's Interview by Lenz here on the list so I decided to post it. 
  
  The interview can be accessed here:
  http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/interviews/david-heinemeier-hansson-rails.html
  
  I was very happy to see the interview on PlanetMySQL as just the other  day I was talking about RubyOnRails on my MySQL blog which is  syndicated on PlanetMySQL
   (http://mysqldatabaseadministration.blogspot.com/2006/01/what-is-your-programming-language-of.html)
   and was surprised to see that no one posted a comment about Rails.
  
  I am also very glad to hear about DHH's future plans of continuing to support Rails but not like MySQL AB supports MySQL
  
  On the other hand, being a DBA, I was kinda disappointed at David's following remarks:
  
  "I love MySQL because its fast and easy for the simple stuff. I’m  entirely uninterested in fancy features like stored procedures,  triggers, and the like. So I hope nothing is being sacrificed while the  5.0 series chases these.    My advice would be to focus on enabling that simple feature set to  go higher. Make clustering and other scaling techniques even easier.  Perhaps baking in support for managing partitioned data sets."
  
  I think stored procedures, triggers and events are very needed in  MySQL. Hope David is not worried about competition from MySQL :)
  
  MySQL users, I would love to hear your opinions on the above statement.
