That's pretty much where I was getting at. The stack he complains about is very barebone, and I doubt he'd have anything simpler with PHP or any other stack.
> rake
As you say it's a simple task runner like make. Maybe use a shell script instead, but appart from that, hard to be any simpler.
> rack
That's just an interface, the equivalent would be mod_php & co, not any simpler in my book.
> gem
Not sure what's there is to complain about here. It's a fairly straightforward package manager. Unless you stick to the stdlib, I doubt PHP packages are any easier.
> yaml
Many people hate it, but for simple configuration it's not any worse than JSON or XML. Matter of taste I guess.
I'd be happy to hear or more detailed complaint from antirez, but I don't think anything can be inferred from that single tweet. This reads like someone who hasn't worked with Ruby in a while, and is grumpy he has to figure a few things out again.
