How many years of the "Structured Programming" language do you have on
your CV?  :P

Seriously, though, I noticed that, but wasn't too bothered by it.
There's also an argument to be made that, for those who came to Rails
from other languages (or, in a surprising number of cases, from
outside programming altogether), it *is* a language.  And let's not
even start on Rails' overriding of existing terminology, like "unit"
tests...
