Rails
I've started learning Ruby and looking at the Rails web environment. So far, all I can say is 'wow". It looks like the designers spent a lot of time making a tool to solve real world problems, and have created a framework that makes most web applications trivial. After watching a couple of videos, I can se how you can build a site like 43Things very quickly. And it makes the idea of building some of the sites I've been thinking about look feasible.
Rails is the kind of software that i like to write. Start with a problem, and then solve the general case. Then use that solution to build your specific solution. You typically end up with a more robust system that can handle change much easier than a hard-coded single solution.
