Ruby is SLOW, and by design it is never going to be anywhere near the
speed or scalability of java. That being the case however, with the
JVM there is nothing stopping you from using WebObjects with JRuby,
Jython, Groovy, etc. You just need to be prepared to write the extra
veneer code to make them integrate smoothly.

started out Objective-C and it was perfect for anyone who already
had Objective-C frameworks and wanted to utilize them on their
web site. Then they added Java support alongside Objective-C,
then they dropped Objective-C altogether.
Although it makes my life increasingly more difficult, I can see
why they did it and I would hazard a guess that they won't ever
go back. At the time Java was as hot as Ruby is now and I'm sure
the decision was based upon trying to get more market share.
Since they've already ported from Objective-C to Java, I doubt
they'll port back to Objective-C . . . unless, that is, they are
still maintaining their own Objective-C version and decide to
release it. That seems like a lot of work, though.
Isn't that what they did for their OS as well? They ported it from
Intel to PowerPC, then dropped the Intel Version, than many years
later decided to switch back to Intel. Seems they secretly dragged
the Intel Version along all the time. I bet they will release OSX
for Sparc and HPPA soon ;)
