An Interesting Look at Style

First, there is the RC 1 Announcement of ASP.NET MVC 3 from Scott Gu:

ASP.NET MVC 3 is a pretty sweet release, and adds a ton of new functionality and refinements.  It is also backwards compatible with ASP.NET MVC V1 and V2 – which makes it easy to upgrade existing apps (read the release notes for the exact steps to do so).  You can learn more about some of the great capabilities in ASP.NET MVC 3 from previous blog posts I’ve done about it

To the point, lots of info.

Then there’s Aaron Patterson’s (aka “tenderlove”) announcement of Rails 3.0.8 RC 1:

ZOMG HI EVERYBODY!!!! HAPPY WEDNESDAY (UTC-7).

I am EXCITED, PLEASED, and even MORE EXCITED to announce the release of the Rails 3.0.8 released candidate NUMBER ONE!

OMG RELEASE CANDIDATE. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

This is a release candidate! It means that we (the rails core team) are asking you (our lovely users) to test out the code that we’d like to release!

This is your chance to VETO our release of Rails 3.0.8 final!

More than a little flare, but also some links to good info.

An interesting juxtaposition of two different communities. I like how you can Veto the release - neat idea.
