And I say that as a formerly happy WebObjects developer, and currently happy Ruby on Rails developer.

BTW, IMHO, yes, Rails is better for a lot of reasons. But, WO is great, too, and I’d be enormously surprised if they switched in the next couple of years. There is just no *need* to do so.

Though as it does make you think they are running a coal powered website if they really do have to take it down to make changes.

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but the ARS is built with WO.

I just see what they are up too and this makes sense to do it. They have the money to do it, and face it – apple.com needs to be redone. It’s 2.0 time…

It allows you to build extremely dynamic and flexible sites, so I don’t think the stickies are really there because Apple’s forced to use them.

You might be getting well ahead of yourself by declaring that the stickie will go away because of Ruby on Rails, and that this might be the last time we see it.

It’s not enough for some piece of technology to be cool or the latest thing for a sensible company like Apple to throw away their huge existing investment and start over. Especially if the payoff from switching away from WebObjects is not very big.

If it’s true, that will be another big achievement for Rails and it’ll get even more serious attention. [...]

Do you have more information about this? What let you think that it would happen and why?
