Web 2.0 Developer Concerns

35. “Sun's support for Rails goes even further,
though. Their work on making Netbeans a
kick-ass Rails IDE seems to be progressing
at a rapid clip (and already winning fans).
Yet it pales in comparison to the rise of
JRuby as driven by Thomas, Charles, and
Ola. These guys are improving their JVM
implementation of Ruby at a truly insane
speed.”
- David Heinemeier Hansson
(Inventor & lead developer of Rails)
