Ruby Stealing ColdFusion's Lines?

A new announcement from the smart guys at Thoughtworks is the first pitch I've seen for the benefits of a product running on JRuby.

In short, Mingle (their app) is being sold to "conservative enterprise clients" and the positioning is "look - it's running on Java - so it is enterprise".

Reminds me of a language that I know and love, but it will definitely be interesting to see how the trend of differentiating languages from platform will play out for CF.

Awesome. I'm looking forward to being able to do some more development in Ruby/Rails as JRuby hits version 1 as well. One of the issues they talked about is the deployment - its a pain trying to deploy RoR apps on Windows with IIS as the webserver (well, it has been getting much better) but that is the main reason I haven't used it for a bigger project yet.

At least I want to stay fresh and not forget all I've learned...
