Hi, I was just reading this blog on www.infoq.com by Neal Ford on Programming Languages and Platforms.
He is an experienced employee with Thoughtworks.. Here is the link... http://www.infoq.com/interviews/Languages-Platforms-Neal-Ford This paragraph from his blog/interview has attracted my attention... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Within ThoughtWorks of Ruby, we are doing a lot of Ruby projects now and we have clients coming in and asking us to do Ruby projects. We have just released our first ever commercial piece of software which is Mingle, which is this Agile project management tool that is written in Ruby on Rails because we wanted it fast on the market, but it is deployed on JRuby, because JRuby deployment scenario was much easier than deploying it in the standard Ruby on Rails way, with hosted and Mongrel clusters and all that stuff. So we've got to take advantage of the best of both worlds, we've got the productivity and the power of Ruby on Rails, but we've got the convenience of having deployed this thing on the Java platform. I think that is something we are going to see more and more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This clearly applies to IronRuby too. Many would like to go the same way. Productivity and Power of IronRuby on Rails and deployment with IIS7 + Sql 2008 + MySql as well. It would be nice if there is some information available about the deployment scenario and the IronRuby Team suggestions for an effective speed on .Net Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
