     It's a shame that this is, by necessity and definition, a placeholder project - the only way to truly divest from DHH would be to not use his code at all, and that generally means rewriting everything away from Ruby. But, as you already said, that'd be a monumental undertaking with little to no substantial benefit other than the divestment itself.
