[...] GigaOm recently posted that Ruby on Rails will be getting some Enterprise-Level Support. Benchmark Capital is in investing $3.5 million in New Relic Inc, which plans to use the funds to incubate RoR to a Enterprise-Level framework. It should be interesting, but I am rather skeptic. Lew Cirne hopes to boost the adoption of RoR like he did with Java, but Java had the support of Sun and IBM, which RoR is growing without any corporate support. It should be interesting none the less. [...]

Sounds like rails is getting a little more enterprise-y. That could be a good thing. We can hope those millions make their way to the normal users.

Maybe I’m nitpicking here but your statement that “Google launched its Google Apps Engine with support for Python rather than Rails” is not appropriate. Google launched its Google Apps Engine with support for Python **RATHER THAN RUBY**. It’s nice to see Rails getting some love from entreprises.

What does Al Gore think of Ruby on Rails for the Enterprise? Since Al co-invented the Internet, and since Al says C02 is dooming the planet (as he stated during his speech at the RSA computer security conference a few weeks ago in San Francisco even though computer security has nothing to do directly with Gore’s Truth of Inconvenience), I think the big litmus test for Ruby on Rails is if Al Gore gives it his Seal of Approval (and then Gore can claim later that he was responsible for Rails more than everyone else, even DHH).
